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.
To be honest, I really prefer
btop
’s sleek UI. It looks so modern and advanced. But with all its beauty and abundance of information, it can be overwhelming at times or in another words, bloattt. That’s why I personally lean towardshtop
’s text-based interface, which I find highly customizable to my preferences. Plus, htop offers more features and conveniences thantop
, making it my go-to choice for now.
