Good morning. Graphical or terminal-based per se? run the htop command on the terminal, it shows nearly anything you need to monitor your local machine.

Graphical widgets, depending on the desktop environment you’re using, e.g: if you are using gnome, there’s “system monitor” for your desktop [system-monitor - GNOME Shell Extensions](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/120/system-monitor/)

I hope these are useful for you!

If you are using Gnome, System Monitor is a core app, although it is a full screen app, not a small widget size:
