Having problems installing that new stick of memory? Found some great software or having issues with something? Or maybe want to chat about your PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo, Sega, even your old Spectrum 48k....! Or maybe something you want to sell or acquire (computing related of course!). Let us know here...
If you try to run these apps on Linux mint (and probably other Linux too) without having the app installed, it gives you the command to run to install it.
All of these apps update in real time every 2 seconds (if you run the command as given).
You can have multiple Terminal (CLI) windows open at the same time; eg all 4 of these apps running at once.
Great - this is something that I was looking for! I will check them out. I hadn’t found good monitors on Linux and that kept pushing me back to Windows ...

That is the exact reason why I have cursed Linux for soooo long. No CoreTemp or GPU-Z. Now with these apps you have everything (and more) that those 2 apps offered.

Do you just type those commands into the terminal?
yeah you just type the command into in the terminal to run the app.
eg:
watch nvidia-smi
will run the nvidia-smi in watch mode so it refreshes every 2 seconds (without reloading the page).
This gives you full system/hardware info, including current temps of CPU, cores, and GPU, as well as fan speeds etc.
However I noticed that some of my stats are not being reported; I just read that you have to run the following on Sensors to get it to detect everything. I just followed the onscreen instructions and clicked Y(es) for everything (safe) except the last item which is mentioned as potentially unsafe.
>> sudo sensors-detect
It all worked okay, but is still not showing fan speeds; perhaps it needs a reboot.
And lastly something else I remembered that might be useful, if when closing (the Terminal/CLI window) for some of these apps it states "There is still a process running", then just type the following to stop the app running before you shut the window.
-Realtime CPU/Core usage
-Realtime Memory/SWAP file useage
-Current running processes
-Various other bits of info such as system uptime
-Customisable colour schemes
-Ability to kill processes
(Sudo apt-get install htop)
