My laptop went bonkers trying to run it, maybe I have something misconfigured somewhere. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but I couldn’t because it was seemingly too resource intensive.
Somebody mentioned I may have been running bpytop, so maybe this whole thing is my bad. I honestly can’t remember what I ran now - I thought it was btop
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.
I tried btop. It slowed my computer way the fuck down, so I went back to htop
really? I’ve never had much issues

i see, that’s a bit of a shame because i enjoy it a lot.

I’ll have to check it out. I’ve seen kitty mentioned a few times but I’m an oldschool xterm kinda guy lol
Maybe you used bpytop, not btop? They look the same iirc.
Oh, you might actually be right there… I’m not sure now I didn’t realize there were alternatives.
I remember trying it a while back when I found a list of fancy looking terminal apps. It was fancy, but it came at the cost of performance.
