Btop: A better modern alternative of htop with a gamified interface

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)
nasretdinov•20m ago
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?

Poor editorialized title.

Poor editorialized title.

"Editorialized" implied deceit was intended. It looks to me like the submitter was trying to be descriptive.

The very first item in the feature list is

> Easy to use, with a game inspired menu system.

notnmeyer•6m ago
taking inspiration from a game doesn’t mean “gamified”.
skopje•6m ago
right? that is not gamification. there's no reward system to make one want progression, or addiction.

that said a enjoy looking at code for projects that are multi os so cheers for op.

benatkin•4m ago
That isn't what gamified means, and one should not be using such a term without knowing what it means. When in doubt, stick to simpler descriptions. Hence calling it poorly editorialized.

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

andrewshadura•11m ago
And htop is still good enough.

Waiting for neobtop++ to output a full GUI system monitor using sixels.
jauntywundrkind•11m ago
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.

Btop really captures that '90s warez group feel.
bwblabs•10m ago
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.
