A much better, fully configurable system monitor for Linux Mint?

[Moonstone Man]

Linux Mint uses the black-box GNU/Linux System Monitor, which is very much under done and very weak. Pretty much the only alternative to it is conky but I don't like things changing in my field of vision so I start the system monitor only when I need it. Now, KDE has a very good system monitor called ksysguard, and if you can put up with Qt applications on your system, using Mint's Qt5 settings tool, and you can afford the 250MB or so root disk space for all the Qt support libraries, you too can have a very good, fully customisable system monitor.

sudo apt install ksysguard

There are only two things to consider. First, you will need to correctly set the Qt5 settings from the Mint menu, and second, you need to be able to afford the extra 250MB or so disk space for the Qt support libraries it needs to pull in, but it does work 100%, just add a new tab and add all the sensors that the Linux kernel can throw at you.

Happy times looking at your replacement system monitor.

And here it is running sweetly on LMDE4.
