conky[1] provides a best of both worlds, i.e. top syle text plus bars
and graphs, and is extremely configurable and extensible. Best of all,
you can have it overlay your desktop background so it's always on screen
and never interfering with any windows. It's in the Fedora repo.
There are many examples available. This is my .config/conky/conky.conf
from my Fedora 32 laptop.

As for the accuracy of any representation of CPU usage, that's a
complicated subject.
