Let's check it out! +What if, one day, you find that your system is sluggish, and the default system monitor app of your distro is not helpful? + +I understand that it can be very annoying when you are trying to figure out what pesky process is causing your system to slow down, and the system monitor cannot help. + +With this first look, I have just the thing for you. It is **a system monitor for Linux** called ' **Mission Center** ' that aims to provide some really useful functionality. + +Allow me to take you through it, and show you what it can do, and what it can't. + +🚧 + +The app is fairly new and is in active development. Expect things to change. + +### Mission Center: Overview ⭐ + +![][1] + +Written primarily in the **memory-safe Rust programming language** , [Mission Center][2] is a system monitor that lets you **monitor your CPU, Memory, Disk, Network, and GPU**. + +Some of its key highlights include: + + * **Real-time monitoring of per-thread CPU usage.** + * **Ability to monitor RAM and Swap usage.** + * **Detailed apps and process usage information.** + * **Monitoring of network utilization and transfer speeds.** + + + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][3] + +### Initial Impressions 👨‍💻 + +I tested it out on an **[Ubuntu 22.04][4] LTS** system, and the installation process was pretty straightforward thanks to it being **offered as a Flatpak**. + +And, I must say, **Mission Center looks very similar to the task manager found on** [Windows 11][5], and that's not necessarily a bad thing. This interface layout is good for presenting all the important information in a user-friendly manner. + +The first tab I took a look at was the ' **Performance** ' section of the system monitor called ' **CPU** '. It showed me all the essential info regarding my processor, with a handy **graph showing CPU usage in real-time**. + +I was also able to switch to the 'logical processors' view to **see CPU usage on a per-thread basis**. You can find it by right-clicking on the graph and going into the 'Change Graph To' menu. + +![][6] + +The next one was the ' **Memory** ' tab, which showed me **a real-time graph with the memory usage** , and useful info regarding the two RAM sticks being used. + +![][7] + +Thereafter, the ' **Disk** ' tab, even though I have several storage disks on my system, I only use 'Disk 4' for Ubuntu. I checked the usage on it, and it seemed to show disk usage data in real-time. + +However, [according to the developer][8], the **disk usage percentage is in a work-in-progress state** right now, and the accuracy of it cannot be vouched for. + +![][9] + +And finally, we have the ' **Ethernet** ' tab. It shows you the **real-time network activity on your system with a handy graph** , with two information points for download and upload activities. + +However, there is **no per-process network data usage for apps** yet. The developer is [currently working][10] on that. + +![][11] + +![][12] + +I then moved on to the ' **Apps** ' section. This housed most (if not all) apps and processes running on the system. It shows all the useful information of an app/process, such as the PID, CPU, Memory, and Disk usage. + +You can also either **stop an app/process** or **force stop an app/process** by right-clicking on one. + +![][13] + +I was also able to **tweak certain settings** of the Mission Center app, such as: + + * Adjusting the update interval for all the real-time graphs + * Set the app to merge process statistics + * Remember the sorting order I used in the 'Apps' section. + + + +![][14] + +One thing that I missed was the data related to my GPU, **Mission Center was unable to detect my Nvidia GPU**. + +However, that checks out, seeing that **GPU support is experimental** , with only AMD and Nvidia GPUs being supported. + +### 📥 Get Mission Center + +Mission Center is available on the [Flathub store][15], as well as on [GitLab][16], if you want to build it from source. + +[Mission Center (Flathub)][15] + +👋 + +Before you leave this page, you might want to explore other new apps in our [First Looks][17] coverage. You should find them exciting! + +_💬 Would you replace the default system monitor on your Linux system with Mission Center?_ + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/mission-center/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_1.png +[2]: https://missioncenter.io/ +[3]: https://itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/12/android-chrome-192x192.png +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/ubuntu-22-04-release/ +[5]: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows?wa=wsignin1.0 +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_2.png +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_3.png +[8]: https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/mission-center/-/issues/2 +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_4.png +[10]: https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/mission-center/-/issues/3 +[11]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Follow-us-on-Google-News.png +[12]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_5-1.png +[13]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_6.png +[14]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/09/Mission_Center_7.png +[15]: https://flathub.org/apps/io.missioncenter.MissionCenter +[16]: https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/mission-center +[17]: https://news.itsfoss.com/tag/first-look/
