Most (all?) temperature monitoring tools on Linux rely on libsensors.

Seems like hardware maintainers never could agree on a standard way of exposing temperature on Linux.

Yeah, that's a pain. Every time I boot up new hardware, I wonder how many readings I'll be able to get this time, and if it's even possible. On one computer, I have practically all the temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds, while on another, I can barely read the CPU temperature alone. Not to mention the need to sometimes compile sketchy drivers from github...
