Vitals is a GNOME extension for displaying your computer's temperature, voltage, fan speed, memory usage, processor load, system resources, network speed and storage stats in your GNOME Shell's menu bar. This is a one stop shop to monitor all of your vital sensors. Vitals uses asynchronous polling to provide a smooth user experience.
apt install gir1.2-gtop-2.0 lm-sensors
yum install libgtop2-devel lm_sensors
sudo pacman -Syu libgtop lm_sensors gnome-icon-theme-symbolic
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
git clone https://github.com/corecoding/Vitals.git ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Vitals@CoreCoding.com
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1460/vitals/
Restart GNOME Shell (Alt+F2, r, Enter) and enable the extension through gnome-tweak-tool.
Vitals was originally forked from gnome-shell-extension-freon. I was having trouble finding an up to date, resource friendly and fully featured system monitoring tool. My biggest pet peeve was random system delays becaus of I/O blocking polls, and thus, the idea for Vitals was born!
