I downloaded this one a long time ago when I saw a video of someone using it for their Windows 10 machine which I mainly just use it to check my CPU and memory usage as well as monitoring my drive spaces so I don't end up killing it and that I don't have to click on "This PC" to see what there is left and also this is what it looks like.

For me it was a false positive generated because of having 8GadgetPack installed. If you have this installed, either remove it or get the latest version which resolves this issue from 8gadgetpack.net - see release notes at https://8gadgetpack.net/#Versionhistory. Source: almost 2 years ago
I always wanted more feedback, so that even in the mechanical disks and lots of fans era my desktop has always shown more data with GKrellM plus some of its plugins, namely multiping to show the status of my NAS and router, and bubblefishymon for a funny but very effective and immediate way to show that system load is growing suspiciously before fans start screaming. http://gkrellm.srcbox.net/ As for servers,... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

That doesn't always give correct readings depending on the chipset on your MB. There was a driver missing for like IT87 that returned voltage and temps to psensor. I finally gave up trying. gkrellm can monitor cpu, and many other things. You can add what you want. Source: almost 2 years ago
Gkrellm was not really part of GNOME or KDE, but it was one of the best tools and there was recently talk about porting it to modern GTK releases. Source: almost 2 years ago
OP: Another option is GKrellM. It has not been updated in a couple of years, but it still appears in Software Manager. It should work with the current versions of LM.
