Btop++ is a power resource monitor for Linux

I have been using glances for a terminal sysmon but I don't like that it eats so much RAM. Can someone please recommend a system monitor that is easy to comprehend and less resource hungry?

I am also curious about below [0] since it came up recently.

Maybe bottom[0]? I use bpytop but probably wouldn't recommend it on account of how heavy it is. I remember bottom being pretty lightweight when I used it, without sacrificing readability.

The first thing I do with a Linux installation it's always add htop, and this it's the first time I feel the need to try something new in my routine.

Kinda depends on what you want to know and how much memory you think is too much. Implementations range from sar to atop to netdata and many others.

Looks almost identical to bpytop. Super neat!

That terminal UI is a work of art...

It’s really nice. That main main screen is giving me flashbacks to Doom.
