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.
I’ve given both
htopandbtopa spin, and I have to say that I really preferhtop. It offers a prettier interface and more features thantop, while still feeling less bloated thanbtopto me. So yeah, it’s definitely my go-to choice!Btop is pretty. Htop tells me what I want to know. I prefer htop and it’s my goto.
