I wouldn’t call it “gamified” but I do love btop. the one thing missing for me is GPU usage on MacOS (I use asitop for that)

I've been searching for something that would be able to show me all the stats I care about (cpu, memory, disk and network usage) on a single screen, and btop so far has been quite good at this role. It has a bit weird controls to my taste, but reading the manual works I guess :)

What about btop is gamified?

Anyone remember top? I was so happy to switch to htop that had colors!

Waiting for neobtop++ to output a full GUI system monitor using sixels.

Not the same, I keep finding dstat hard to leave behind, because I can see the past. So many of these monitors have one or two or three over time graphs, but most of the information is ephemeral, only shows right now. But I really want to see network use, disk use, paging, context switching/interrupts over time.

There is also Below. Which has a much more htop like interface. But Below records system info over time, and allows time travel! It's not as convenient as dstat since you have to scrub through time. But it is pretty impressive system monitoring, great for what it is. https://github.com/facebookincubator/below

I really like the new wave of TUI aesthetic that's been worming its way into Linux user interfaces lately. Check out Omarchy's desktop distro if you want more of that aesthetic throughout your OS, it does a good job if that's the look and feel you want.

I recently found out https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom#readme (cargo install bottom; executable btm), it's a pretty great improvement over htop I was using before.

i dont think they could have possible chosen a word to make me want to use it less than gamified.
