I couldn’t bear Ubuntu’s built-in System Monitor and replaced it with this stunning tool instead

What’s new: A new resource monitoring tool called Mission Center has been introduced as an alternative to Ubuntu’s built-in System Monitor. Mission Center offers enhanced features such as detailed performance graphs, GPU usage monitoring, and service management capabilities. It is designed for better usability and provides a more visually appealing interface.

Who’s affected

Ubuntu users who rely on the System Monitor for resource management and monitoring of self-hosted applications may find Mission Center beneficial for improved functionality and ease of use.

What to do

  • Install Mission Center using Flatpak by executing the following commands:
    sudo apt install flatpak
    sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
    flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
  • Alternatively, download the AppImage for your system architecture from the Mission Center GitHub page.
  • Explore the new features such as detailed graphs, service management, and the ability to monitor GPU and fan stats.
