What is KSysGuard?

Some pretty interesting but ungoogleable and obscure features, confirmed with KSysGuard 5.18.4. Right click "IO read" and "IO write" headers in order to open context menu. Users can choose between:
- Characters read/written
- Number or Read/Write operataions
- Bytes actually read/written








Comments and Reviews
Extensible, Pretty graphs, very functional, like a lot of KDE's stuff
No way to change CPU affinity with System Monitor Version 5.18.4.
Users can't easily close default tabs "Process Table" and "System Load". One workaround is to change update rate. Update rates will persist.
System Monitor Version 5.18.4
Graphs. Scrolling graphs with vertical lines. Very questionable interface. Questionable defaults. Questionable default tabs. You can monitor GPUs with ksysguard-gpu.
