Is there any Widget that can show my CPU and other performances live?

Conky

Conky is a popular light weight system monitor. I have it running on the right side of one of my monitors all the time:

Conky with video then close.gif

The GIF animation show 2 dozen seconds with youtube running and then closed. Then you'll notice a single core getting most of the activity for the screen recorder itself.

This is the conky code I used (minus the header section which can be desktop specific):

For the ultimate convenience I've found this gnome extension, install it's dependencies first, then hit the switch on the web page.

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtop-2.0 gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0  gir1.2-clutter-1.0

Installing System Monitor

System Monitor

I've realized you already mentioned system monitor now so i'll move these two to the bottom...

Ubuntu has System Monitor built into it, simply search for that in the applications menu. System Monitor

HTOP is a popular commandline alternative for that pro hacker feel. Install it with sudo apt install htop enter image description here
