    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.

      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.

        Yea. I was using bottom until I saw this and did a quick side-by-side comparison (nix-shell -p btop, I use NixOS BTW). btop’s UI is just so much better.

      yeah you need a decently fast hw accelerated terminal for it
      for example, the gnome terminal is pretty slow; if you’re using it, try running it in alacrity or kitty and see if that improves performance.

    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.

        I think they mean the variable width of the graph’s columns. If you watch it as the graph moves, there are gaps at every 2 columns.

        I don’t understand though the thing about font priorities.
        And also, would that just change all fonts? Unless you mod the font to only have the braille characters…

        No, you’ve got it set up right. Many people will have graphs where each character rectangle has open circles for the unused braile dots in the character block.

        Here’s an example.

      @JoMiran @zShxck That is very nice. I love the way you can toggle between disk space usage and disk I/O usage. Here is a btop of the machine that friendica.eskimo.com is running on:

        It’s written in Python.

        EDIT: My original comment refers to going to Bpytop from just plain top. I believe btop is a C++ rewrite of bpytop.

    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.

    Can it show each core’s frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?

        I don’t see any option in 1.2.13, and https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/190 suggests it isn’t implemented yet.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
