I am in love with the KDE System Monitor widgets. They were, of all things, what truly cemented the Linux switch for me.
I used Aquasuite on Windows to control my watercooling, and it can set up a vast amount of widgets on your background for easy monitoring of temps and other values. It will not run on Linux.
The KDE widgets give me basically the same experience, although missing a few things. It's enough that I'm happy with it, and I can check temperature and flow rates at a glance if something starts acting fucky.
I totally agree with this. I have always been able to empathize with people not liking a game that I'm obsessed with. Every game has flaws, and games are like music genres- if I like EDM, you may like country, and that's ok.
People get really closed-minded about games, even past the point of "fanboy". It's like some sort of hero worship.
