Why do you find yourself opting for btop
or htop
instead of top
? What advantages do these tools offer that make them superior to top
in your opinion?
top
has served me well, so I’m unsure why I would want to burden my system with the addition of htop
or btop
. With top
, if you wish to terminate a process, simply press ‘k’ and send the signal; it’s that simple. If you’d like to identify the origin of a process, just include the command column.
I often find myself intrigued when encountering comments on posts expressing love for htop
/btop
. To me, it appears unnecessary or BLOATED!! Please do share your perspectives and help broaden my Linux knowledgebase.
I’m more of a
bottom
, if you know what I mean.A fellow Rust enjoyer I see.
vtop is nice too since it still is very readable in small windows.
