I use the xfce CPU graph plugin for the CPU… don’t use anything for GPU, I don’t game and all my rigs run on onboard GPUs. There is also a temp plugin for xfce, I use that one as well, can’t remember the name now though… it requires libsensors to work.
You can also use ms word in wine if you’re writing. However; if you’re opening docs from the internet, I wouldn’t recommend opening them up in anything running in wine. Remember, wine is a windows emulator based on windows 2000.
Wine is not a Windows emulator. The name literally means “Wine Is Not an Emulator”.
It’s also not based on Windows 2000. In fact, it started out translating syscalls from Windows 3.1.
The syscalls themselves are pretty stable between Windows versions, which is why you can run a Windows XP application on Windows 11 without recompiling it, as long as it’s for the same architecture.
Is conky still a thing? I used it for that when I used an exclusively passive cooled PC a few years ago. You were able to easily create bar graphs in a config file and even include output of commands.
You mention Arch before other distros and never even explain what a distros is (e.g. ‘a flavor of Linux with a choice of preinstalled software’).
Then you say that it’s a beginners and not an advanced tutorial, but mention advanced distros.
Also your reasons for the beginner distros are not well written:
Fedora mentions "rightful backlash against the company"
Linux Mint "I haven’t used"
Pop OS “shares some issues”
Why take one of them? They all sound difficult or weird. (to a newby reader)
Then the part about Ubuntu and Manjaro which is longer than the 3 distros you recommend. This has major “Linux fanboy bashing other Linux fanboys” vibes.
The rest I really liked, maybe replace “this era” with “its era”.
