I'm ditching htop for btop, look how cool it is

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)

Ooh, it looks even better than gtop.

Edit: Why does the menu look like this?

That basically looks like every hollywood movie in existence

I tried btop. It slowed my computer way the fuck down, so I went back to htop

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.

Does noone use glances anymore?

Yeah, that looks very cool. Wish I could use it as my wallpaper or a widget in gnome

One I started using Bpytop, I couldn't go back.

Meanwhile, every system (even Android) has good ol' top. It works.

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!

Hi Guiseppe

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.

Can it show each core's frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?

I ditched all top programs on my system, because I have no use for any of them....

I just wish there was a .deb package.

Still gonna get around to making a playbook for installing it someday. btop (and it’s predecessors) are awesome.

bottom users rise up. RIIR!

has more empty space. Can the user change that?

This looks great! Thanks for the recommendation.

I like Netdata because it's web based, has a large number of metrics, you can pan/zoom the graphs, and it doesn't use much CPU power. Console UIs are nice but they're more limiting than something web-based.

I'm using lcdproc on a 20x4 characters display, it's enough to see cpu, load, mem, Network, etc

It's very attractive, but it also seems to have a minimum window size requirement that exceeds the "stack" in my "master and stack."

It's great to use if you need a dashboard to track issues, but for a quick look at running processes, I think I'll stick with htop.

The nord theme on btop is blissful. It looks so good.

Purely on aesthetics, I find bashtop nicer, but I couldn't get it on my server.
I often use glances for general monitoring.

why ? Why do you feel the need to have process monitoring displayed all the time?

Both are useless toys for newbie sysadmins who think their job is sitting and looking at list of processes.
