Quoting: Mission Center 1.0: New Features, Better Performance - OMG! Ubuntu —

Mission Center 1.0 adds new hardware tracking, UI tweaks, and refactors its backend to provide palapble performance improvements, boost the app’s responsiveness and minimise ‘time deviations between refresh cycles’.

The latter may sound a tad dry on the ‘excitement’ scale but, arguably, it’s a big thing: a real-time monitoring app is used for, well, real-time monitoring and those tweaks ensure hardware and system process info shown is more precise.

For a closer lookout the “visible” changes in this release, read on.

• Mission Center 1.0 Added SMART Data & Per App Network Monitoring

  Mission Center, the popular free open-source system monitoring and task managing app for GNU/Linux Desktop, release new 1.0.0 version few days ago. Like Resources, it’s a modern GTK4 tool to monitor CPU, GPU, Memory, Storage and Network devices, while being able to manage running apps, processes, as well as background services.

• Mission Center Hits A 1.0 Release! Making it the Best GUI System Monitor for Linux

  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.

  We are now in 2025, and a stable release is finally here. So, let's check it out! 😃

LWN:

• Mission Center 1.0.0 released

  Version 1.0.0 of Mission Center, a system-monitoring application, has been released. Notable changes in this release include the addition of SMART data for SATA and NVMe devices, display of per-process network usage, as well as a redesigned Apps Page that provides more information about applications and processes. Mission Center's backend application for obtaining system data has been renamed from the Gatherer to Magpie, and is now available as a standalone executable and libraries that can be used by other applications.
