From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you don't mind a web UI, Netdata is great. It collects a bunch of metrics once per second and can retain them for a long period of time. The web UI is pretty good. Their Github readme links to some example servers so you can try it out first. Just click the link to use it without an account (that's optional).
It's mainly designed for servers, but there's no reason you couldn't run it on a client system. They're focusing a lot on AI/ML-based anomaly detection as well as their cloud offering at the moment, but you don't have to use either and can just stick to the open-source agent.
I just try, but the UI is not
