One can see what apps are bing used and what they are using in memory, cpu etc with Task Manager, what is the cousin in Linux please?

The last couple of software update my box cursor gets stuck for a while then frees up then stuck again as if something is using up cpu.

Would like to know what is causing it.

Thanks

Just noticed when spelling is wrong there is a red line but right click just says 'Add top Dict' no spell options? Maybe something to do with it ?

The equivalent of Task Manager in Zorin is Menu | Utilities | System Monitor:

Thank you

I see that Pulse Audio is the only 'Very High' usage in Priority, not sure what that means.

Main Memory and Disk Read is Firefox and Gnome System Monitor is the only high CPU and that is not high.

Rebooted so maybe it is okay now,.
