Underappreciated top

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…

    My go-to! There’s a Python version, bpytop, as well - not sure why you would want that over the C+±version though.

      The author of btop wrote bpytop first and then when it got popular, they decided to rewrite it in C++

      Just guessing but maybe for different architecures like RiscV and PPC? It might still be possible to compile from source, but if you have python why not just take a shortcut
