Linux Mint 27 arrives in December with Superlight, a brand-new system monitor built under the cross-desktop XApp Project.
The utility features unified CPU, GPU, RAM, and Swap telemetry, collapsible hardware graphs, process tree management, and an interactive storage analyzer.
The new app is designed to show how the computer is performing, recording usage of key components, applications, and battery, and also features an interactive page for storage space.
All data in one chart
The home page shows a graph of the total CPU, GPU, memory, and storage usage over the last sixty seconds. There are also additional graphs for CPU cores, network traffic, disk activity, temperatures, and fan speeds, which can be hidden to save space.
Process and battery control
The processes page allows users to filter what is running on the computer depending on whether it is user or system applications, and also offers a tree view.

On laptops, the app plots power consumption and battery life in a graph, displaying estimated time and health information.
Storage space management
The storage page acts as a simple analysis tool for internal and external drives. In tests, the dedicated button for clearing temporary files managed to free up 900 megabytes of unused space on a device.
Linux Mint plans to add the ability to view system logs to the application in the future.
New applications from the XApp Project
Superlight is being developed as part of the XApp Project, with the goal of running on any Linux desktop. The Linux Mint team is also working on other new applications, including a calendar and clock tool, an e-book reader, a compressed file manager, and the new Velocitty terminal.
