XDA ☛ I couldn't bear Ubuntu's built-in System Monitor and replaced it with this stunning tool instead
I use Ubuntu as a test system, mainly for trying self-hosted apps that may bring my Raspberry Pi Zero to its knees. When you work with self-hosted apps, you tend to monitor their resource usage and fix problematic processes and services.

I looked for an alternative, and Mission Center looked quite appealing with its polished graphs, ability to show GPU usage, a dedicated service management tab, and more control over everything. All of this, condensed into a visually appealing package, made me instantly switch to Mission Center. Let's look at the quirks that make it a better resource monitor tool than the built-in one.
