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.

    Ooh, it looks even better than gtop.

    Edit: Why does the menu look like this?

    Btop has been rewritten in C++, hence the ++

    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?

    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

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

    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.
