I’ve given both htop and btop a spin, and I have to say that I really prefer htop. It offers a prettier interface and more features than top, while still feeling less bloated than btop to me. So yeah, it’s definitely my go-to choice!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try it out.

Never heard of it.

the white blocks of top

Did you mean the upper right corner of top? I also fine btop is overwhelming, too pretty to look at.

Never heard of bottom before, I will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

Agree with you on the beauty of btop, but sometimes less is more and that’s why I think it’s bloated. When working with the terminal, text-based programs work best on it so htop is much more to my liking due to its minimalist interface.

To be honest, I really prefer btop’s sleek UI. It looks so modern and advanced. But with all its beauty and abundance of information, it can be overwhelming at times or in another words, bloattt. That’s why I personally lean towards htop’s text-based interface, which I find highly customizable to my preferences. Plus, htop offers more features and conveniences than top, making it my go-to choice for now.

Yeah, that is the reason I use top in the first place. No need for an extra package and I can use it on pretty much every system.

Now that you mention it, I also have to check out ps just in case…

Never heard of it. I will have to check it out later.

I think you still should learn how to use top in case something happens and btop is out of the picture. That is the reason I use and stick with it in the first place.

Up top

Why do you think that? After this post, I will try out both of them but maybe eventually I will still just use top out of, same as you bro, habit.

Totally, but I do want to know about other people experience tho. So if you don’t mind, share with me my friend.

top’s output does appear somewhat cryptic and hard to digest quickly.

Hey buddy, no stress, I feel ya! Switching OSes is like trying a new flavor of ice cream – it can be an adventure at times. But, let me share some wisdom from my Linux journey. When we focus on the small stuff, we unintentionally give power to the big guys. Linux is all about flexibility and community support. Sure, it might not be perfect right away, but that’s part of the fun! Keep pushing through, you’ll soon see why so many of us love this open-source world. Let’s rock this Linux life together

Once I succumbed to a proprietary software’s allure, post-usage, I felt like a digital pariah! To rid myself of the taint, I wiped my system clean – reinstall time!

Ditched Windows for Linux, man, feelin’ free like a bird. No more Microsoft bullshit, nah. And instead of Google Search, I’m rollin’ with SearXNG. It’s like Google but decentralized, no data sellin’, straight up respectin’ my privacy. Open source all day, every day, that’s my way now.
