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.

Install and configure lm_sensors. Then cpu temp will show up in $sensors or other TUI programs

Psensor is a graphical widget on top of lm_sensors that's shows constantly updated temp/fan/usage info. It's similar to HWMonitor on Windows.

btop shows it and a ton of other info too.

htop displays the cpu temperature, if you configure it to do so.

Can you explain a bit more? Temp sensor info is already available anywhere.
