From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I made the swich a year or two ago. It is much better I find. I leave it running in a tmux session on my server . with btop on one pane and switch to another with a split view to do work. It allows me to take a quick glance at any time while not taking the focus from what I was working on.
Bottom for life (or at least until something with more stats comes out)
Just found this too, through the rust post some days ago...but its quite obvious that from a usability context that btop is easier to use. With bottom you have to memorize all hotkeys wheres btop is showing them right in the interface.
Yea. I was using bottom until I saw this and did a quick side-by-side comparison (nix-shell -p btop, I use NixOS BTW). btop's UI is just so much better.
I’m really loving bottom
Switch is that perfect sweet spot right in the middle. Very versatile.
That basically looks like every hollywood movie in existence
hollywood is an installable app which when run takes over your machine with a fullscreen terminal and multiple panels with lots of dyanamic data to look like a hacking scene from a Hollywood film. :)
You can exit it with Ctrl+C
I use btop, iotop, jnettop, and radeontop. I rarely need any individual piece of information any of them but they make for an incredible spread of blinkenlights.
Ooh, it looks even better than gtop.
Edit: Why does the menu look like this?
50/50 on if it starts listing processes or launches a new game of Zelda.
Say no more, I'm sold
Btop has been rewritten in C++, hence the ++
Uh oh, time to rewrite it in rust
Pro tip: configure a font that doesn't show open circles for unused braille characters to have a higher priority than your current font to get better-looking graphs.
On my system, braille characters are provided by DejaVu Serif, and it was as easy as just installing the font.
I tried btop. It slowed my computer way the fuck down, so I went back to htop
Does noone use glances anymore?
I do as well. I really appreciate the information density, key bindings, and optional web UI. Although I found if I leave glance is running for a prolonged amount of time, it has a tendency to crash from some python issue I haven't dissected yet, as it takes so much time to reproduce.
Yeah, that looks very cool. Wish I could use it as my wallpaper or a widget in gnome
I used for a bit, I even configured it to open in a separate monitor when booting, it was cool for a while
Nice, I've tried gtop and atop before and they were pretty nice, but I usually fall back to htop because old habits die hard. I'll give this a go!
btop doesn't update all of the characters for me after a while if I leave it open for a long time, and eventually it stops updating altogether.
