From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ha, that's basically the windows system monitor. That said, I'm probably going to install it. They did that better than what I've seen on most distro.

There's also one called Resources if you'd like a GTK4/Libadwaita one that isn't a copy of the Windows task manager

That looks very good, thanks for the recommendation!

That’s the same reason I installed it. Although, I do enjoy the system monitor on kubuntu kde
