  • BPYTOP - a fun HTOP alternative :-)
    Check out btop. It’s a rewrite of bpytop in C++. Both are from the same author. FYI, bpytop is also a rewrite of bashtop in python. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Btop looks great
    As far as I remember, the guy made first the bashtop, that was slow as molasses but looks cool. Then he made bpytop that is the same idea but ported to python, and then finally ported to C++ and we got just btop. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Share your greatest free tools
    Bashtop - Seriously, I my brain can't follow columns without some kind of order to the madness. Ty bashtop. Source: about 2 years ago
  • How to return current and average cpu utilization, maybe the top process name too?
    There is https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop with prettier and more readable output compared to top, in my opinion. It also has a port on python and c++. Source: about 2 years ago
  • My fans go brrrrrr
    🤔 I've found that the data Vitals reports isn't always correct, not to mention it uses far to much system resource for what it does. Have you tried bashtop? Source: over 2 years ago
