CoreX is a Linux hardware monitor that helps you keep track of system health and performance from a desktop dashboard.
It’s designed to make sensor data easy to follow with a compact on-screen widget, a hardware tree for browsing components, and live monitoring views that are useful when gaming, working, or diagnosing a system.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides an always-on-top draggable widget for live system metrics.
- Shows a hardware tree covering CPU, GPU, RAM, disk, and network devices.
- Uses real sensor names instead of generic labels such as temp1 or temp2.
- Includes live charts for CPU, GPU, memory, network, and storage activity.
- Supports both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.
- Offers an automatic sensor identification wizard.
- Uses a dark theme throughout the interface.
