#12For me it’s enough iotop + bpytop + htop
The readme for bpytop links to btop++
https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop
It says:
> The Linux version of btop++ is complete. Released as version 1.0.0
My impression is that btop++ is the successor to bpytop. Or even if bpytop continues to be maintained that they intend for most people to use btop++ instead going forward.

#13Quick word of warning, if you download it: The release archive doesn't create a directory, just untars into $CWD. So do this:
mkdir btop
cd btop
tar xjvf ~/Downloads/btop.....tbz
./install.sh
Re: Btop++ is a power resource monitor for Linux
#14I 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. [0] https://github.com/facebookincubator/below
'nmon' doesn't get much attention, but it feels lightweight (I haven't tested if it really is) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nmon

#15The 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.
htop and multitail are always tied for me.

This is why I have trust issues when github pulling or exploding a tar.

#17This looks very nice, but the compiler version requirement is very painful for those of us working on machines installed more than a year ago... GCC 10, ouch. I mean, newer versions are great, but when you don't control your machine's OS distribution, installing GCC 10 is not the most trivial thing to do.
Re: Btop++ is a power resource monitor for Linux
#18On the surface looks like an improvement over htop ( which I've been using for 10+ years )
But this is the kind of software that I would want to keep using. Will btop keep being supported? Is btop going to be available in practically all distros I use? Even currently on Arch its only in the AUR.
Its also concerning there is btop[0] and bpytop[1]? I don't understand the difference.

I think bpytop is the previous version writtten in Python. btop++ is a cpp re-write
