1 week ago | news.itsfoss.com | Sourav Rudra

When I think of a useful system monitoring tool on Linux, I either think of System Monitor, the default one on GNOME or the sleek newcomer, Mission Center. I first checked it out almost two years ago when I took an early build for a short spin. Since then, it has evolved into something that rivals GNOME's default system monitoring tool. For a quick recap, Mission Center is a Rust-based system monitor that allows users to monitor critical system metrics like CPU, memory, disk, network, and GPU.

Usually, when I open a PDF file on my Linux system, I use the default document viewer — Evince, GNOME’s evergreen document viewing app. It’s my go-to because it just works. No weird bugs or unexpected crashes, it gets the job done reliably and without fuss. However, lately, it has started to feel old. Don't get me wrong, it still works well, but the interface and overall experience feel a little out of date.
