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.

Already been done.
My computer just works so I've never needed to check, but I run XFCE & have xfce4-taskmanager installed, so I could use that if I ever needed....
Ah, I see. I use htop as a task manager.

To get a comprehensive overview of your system's resource usage, install and run the
btopcommand. It's a top-like interactive system monitor that displays a range of system information, including:-CPU usage (per core and overall)
-RAM usage (free, used, and cached)
-Disk usage (per disk and overall)
-Network usage (bytes sent and received)
-Process list (with CPU, RAM, and disk usage per process)
-System temperature
-Uptime
