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.
Htop what I use cause it’s what I’ve been using. Only really use it to see what process is taking the most CPU usage or RAM usage. System monitors in general though are mostly useless imo
