KDE Plasma 5.21 Desktop Environment to Ship with a New System Monitor App

Developed by Arjen Hiemstra during the past two years using Kirigami UI Framework and Plasma’s KSystemStats system statistics service, the new Plasma System Monitor app is here as a drop-in replacement for the KSysGuard utility that currently ships by default with the KDE Plasma desktop environment.
