Always thought top was one of those programs frozen in time since the 70s, but apparently, it has a feature set comparable to htop and the like. The default configuration just doesn’t show much of it…


You’re talking about procps-ng
top.Wait… what?
$ top --version top from procps-ng 4.0.5-dirtyOh, so these guys manage
topand a few other common utilities.No, these guys manage a version of
top. There are dozens of versions. Every major OS has their owntop, or an equivalent. I bet there are even linux distros that don’t use this version oftop.Oooooh, ok. TIL.
At least Arch and Debian seem to use
top from procps-ng. Good to know.
