Our Software Spotlight this week comes from the community. Jason sent us these awesome suggestions:
“I have found some incredible software for Linux including…”
System Monitoring Center - A complete set of monitoring utilities in one for the cpu, memory, disk, network, gpu, and sensors. There are even features to manage processes and services. You can also view user and system information. (may not be active anymore, but worth a try)

R-Linux - Complete data recovery with the ability to scan, recover, backup and image important data with many features.
