"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.
that said a enjoy looking at code for projects that are multi os so cheers for op.
"Poorly described" would be correct. "Editorialized" does not mean what you think it means. See my previous comment.
Anyhow, your comment was wrong, as others have pointed out. Gamified already means something, and it doesn't mean what you suggest. Howevery, you reply to me, without acknowledging this error. It's a subtle form of moving the goalposts.
Editorialized here simply means applying editor-level changes to the title of the website to express an opinion. No deceit is implied. It is against HN guidelines unless the title is unclear or does not fit.
That's all.
They could have described it as "game-like design" or something else.

Apart from that, there are not other gaming mechanics.Anyone remember top? I was so happy to switch to htop that had colors!
btop: done
There is also Below. Which has a much more htop/btop like interface than dstat. Below records system info over time, and allows time travel! However, it's not as convenient as dstat, not at a glance, as one has to to scrub through time. But it is pretty impressive system monitoring, great for what it is! It's per-process pressure metrics are also utterly unbeatable. The way it rolls up cgroups is also stellar. https://github.com/facebookincubator/below
And most of those TUI are badly designed in terms of configurability. Especially the ise of colors and “effects”.
Is btop basically just extending where it can run?
- CPU usage graph (global and per cpu)
- CPU temp + graph
- GPU usage
- Memory graphs
- Disks space infos + real-time IO
- Network graph, one for each network device, upload/download stats since opening the app
- Per program cpu graph, memory graph
You should try it.
I'm using 3.4.1, so it's possible you have an older version that doesn't have it.
I bet the Rust boys are contemplating a rewrite already.
This is not that, but… honestly I don't think I want a game-menu-UIfied top either. Most games' UI is barely tolerable…
(Ed.: looks like it's just poor titling in the HN submission)
I have used htop forever, but would be happy to hear of a compelling reason to switch.
btop: A monitor of resources
As per HN guidelines [0] -
> Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
I don't know if this will replace htop for me. The main feature seems to be 24 bit color and some aggressive styling. I'm too old fashioned for that.
