How to show indicators in top panel in ubuntu 20.04.3?

jp flag

I have ubuntu 20.04.3. What i want is basically small graphical icons and then some sensors values, like cpu and ram usage percentage, cpu and gpu temp, network up/down speeds

What I've tried

  • sudo apt install sensors-applet top panel is not right clickable, cannot find a way to do "Add to panel" stuff (probably its for older versions, and newer graphical ui was just broken by bad developers and lacks this feature. Program is also missing in all Applications, no observable way to launch this stuff.
  • sudo apt install psensor Is displaying only one icon. Cannot get it to display multiple things in notification bar. Also lacks memory usage percentage and network bandwidth display possibility.
  • sudo apt install indicator-multiload can display only unclear graphs or single line of text, which flickers when you have cpu usage 0% then 10% all text after is going back and forth, renders that very bad. Also cant get temperatures.

So many time passed, there should be a modern indicator, its so common task, right? What would you use if you need several icons and sensor values in top panel in regular ubuntu?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
