Mission Center 1.0.0 has been released on Flathub and is a Linux application designed to monitor system resource utilization, encompassing CPU, memory, disk, network, and GPU usage. The application provides capabilities for monitoring system processes, thread and handle counts, uptime, clock speed, cache sizes, RAM and swap usage, disk utilization and transfer rates, network utilization and transfer speeds, as well as GPU usage. The tool additionally oversees system fans and offers a streamlined summary view for efficient monitoring.

Intel GPU monitoring is limited to Broadwell and subsequent GPUs, and it does not provide support for VRAM, power, or temperature monitoring. The update features a comprehensive refactor of the Gatherer, now designated as Magpie, which is compatible with other monitoring solutions. The application provides SMART data for both SATA and NVMe devices, facilitates the ejection of removable storage devices, and features a revamped Apps Page that offers enhanced information for each application and process. The update encompasses several bug fixes, including the restoration of missing memory composition graphs, adjustments to the service details window, and the resolution of memory leaks. Translation updates are now accessible in multiple languages.
