Is there a way to monitor BIOS info like CPU temp and fan speed on Linux Mint?

You're in luck! There's a terminal-based app called Glances available on Linux Mint that does a fantastic job at monitoring system resources continuously. Even though you already have Task Manager, Glances provides way more information in a text format. Check it out if you don’t find it in your app store!

Have you checked out some system monitor applets? Just a heads up: what you're after isn't exactly "BIOS info" since it primarily pulls sensor data that other applications can access too. You might need to install specific drivers like `lm-sensors` for it to work properly.

I had a similar problem, so I actually created an app that brings a lot of those widgets together on one page. It's a resource monitor as well as a task manager. If you're interested, you can find it on my GitHub: https://github.com/majoraexp/Taskwire. There are other similar utilities too!

You can definitely use Conky for this! It's super customizable, and you can find lots of templates online to get started. It can display CPU temperature, but whether fan speed shows up depends on how compatible your hardware is with Linux. If your terminal's `sensors` command shows it, you're good to go!
