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.
Don’t understand why someone should downvote you, take my upvote instead
Might be missclick. Some people have fat fingers.
I saw him with “-1” so actually 2 people not just one person have misclicked according to your theory. Hmmm i don’t know, but i hope it’s true, better then the alternative
Lol no idea, some people just want to watch the world burn I suppose. Thanks kind stranger. Wishing you and yours the best.
Bottom for life (or at least until something with more stats comes out)
I’m really loving bottom
The graphs look way better than btop.

Bro literally every second software is written in rust nowadays 😭

Ik, I am also a rustacean
Ooh, it looks even better than gtop.
Edit: Why does the menu look like this?
Jeez, never saw that, mine just open the program
Press ‘m’
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.
Where do you see open circles? I don’t understand sorry
No, you’ve got it set up right. Many people will have graphs where each character rectangle has open circles for the unused braile dots in the character block.
I tried btop. It slowed my computer way the fuck down, so I went back to htop
Maybe you used bpytop, not btop? They look the same iirc.
Oh, you might actually be right there… I’m not sure now I didn’t realize there were alternatives.
I remember trying it a while back when I found a list of fancy looking terminal apps. It was fancy, but it came at the cost of performance.

My laptop went bonkers trying to run it, maybe I have something misconfigured somewhere. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but I couldn’t because it was seemingly too resource intensive.

Somebody mentioned I may have been running bpytop, so maybe this whole thing is my bad. I honestly can’t remember what I ran now - I thought it was btop
I used for a bit, I even configured it to open in a separate monitor when booting, it was cool for a while
I used for a bit…
What changed?
It was cool but really I didn’t need to watch all that information
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!
Meanwhile, every system (even Android) has good ol’ top. It works.
It can’t even kill processes.
That’s what kill is for …
And then I forget the pid.
That’s what pkill is for.
It should be in the terminal right next to the one you have open for issuing the kill command
Don’t tell me that you’re only using a single terminal window
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.
Hi Guiseppe
Can it show each core’s frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?
One I started using Bpytop, I couldn’t go back.
What is the difference between bytop and btop?
It’s written in Python.
EDIT: My original comment refers to going to Bpytop from just plain top. I believe btop is a C++ rewrite of bpytop.
The nord theme on btop is blissful. It looks so good.
Crazy
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.
