I learned more about htop, and frankly even Linux I’m general, from this amazing in-depth explanation of what htop is displaying. https://peteris.rocks/blog/htop/

The ads are substantial, invasive (hard to follow the text) and for me were borderline NSFW. Definitely a situation for reader mode.

It's Google AdSense with Auto ads (In-page ads, Matched content, Anchor, Ad load: max). I reduced the Ad load to min just now.

Firefox and uBlock Origin. No ads. Like it or not, you kind of have to use a good ad blocker these days.

You can use a browser extension to always load old reddit.

Unless you’re on Firefox? Edit: nvm, on GNU/Linux mobile you can use FF or Chromium (or GNOME Web or lynx or netsurf or…)

How does it handle many CPUs? In 2.2 it has a line for each CPU, as that number grows it will take over the screen.

it uses columns though https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hhRAYq55Ovo/XL0NZNUNAjI/AAAAAAAAM... ?

Reading this changelog I discovered that htop has a config file and a config menu. I started using it years ago as a drop-in replacement for top and I never went beyond the default but there are some very nifty things hidden in the option, such as being able to display process trees and custom thread names among many other things.

If like me you never bothered to look into it just hit F2 in a running htop and start browsing the options.

The original maintainer (creator) did an excellent job for 10+ years. Here is his response: https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues/992#issuecomment-683...

Didn't realize he'd taken a break. Guess that allowed him to develope tl[1].

Good to see that the original maintainer is on board with this and package maintainers for the distros are changing to the new release.

Today I noticed that Arch is already on this release. Albeit with this[0] patch applied.

Not on the whitelist of extensions for the current Firefox version. You'll need to build your own.

This is actually configurable. Hit F2 and go into setup and you can change the configuration of what's displayed up top.

Here's a screenshot of my server with 32threads/cpus. https://www.simcop2387.info/htop3.png

This is i configured with 8 cpus per line
