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 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.
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.
Opensuse tumbleweed on a lenovo X1 gen 7. Software wise - KDE desktop and VS Code, Dbeaver, Kate and Firefox. Oh, and the usual command line tools - git, npm, terraform… This is a work laptop, but I find tumbleweed to be extremely stable, considering it’s a rolling release. If it does go south, there is a fantastic snapper support to roll back to the previous state.
See this neckbeard extremist evangelising is why people stay away from Linux community. Linux hobbyists having 0 concerns for others’ jobs, work or needs is incredibly icky. I advocate for FLOSS, but posts like this just gives more ammunition to Windows/MacOS/proprietary culture fanboys.
