As in, when I watched YouTube tutorials, I often see YouTubers have a small widget on their desktop giving them an overview of their ram usage, security level, etc. What apps do you all use to track this?

Checkmk (Raw - free version.) Some setup aspects are a bit annoying (wants to monitor every last ZFS dataset and takes too long to 'ignore' them one by one.) It does alert me to things that could cause issues, like the boot partition almost full. I run it in a Docker container on my (primarily) file server.

I use this as well! Works well and has built in intelligence for thresholds.
