https://linux.die.net/man/1/multitail I never heard of this one before. What's the benefit instead of doing this with Tmux?

Biggest thing is if you’re doing a streaming tail with an * pattern, it figures it out and filters them into proper groups instead of a single blob stream. I didn’t know you could something like that we tmux though. I’ll have to check it out. :)

You can't, I was just talking about tailing multiple files in Tmux splits.

Wow, this is a very nice fully featured, with mouse support, terminal application! Just installed from the AUR and hopefully will remember it to replace htop in my mind!

Suggestion:

Create an htop alias for btop. Then you'll never have to worry about forgetting it.

You can just use a GCC docker image to build: https://hub.docker.com/_/gcc

No I can't... without an appropriate installation of docker and/or dependencies of docker. See: https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/#prerequisi...

That link says "Known to work on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, and 21.04", although maybe Ubuntu is just the default selection when the page loads... still, I guess you won't be testing much new software if they don't allow you even using Docker!

Quick 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 Apart from that, it looks really, really nice. I like it a lot!

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

One could always run "tar tv[z]f" on the archive first, and then choose whether or not to explode it in the current directory.

On 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.

Would you like to have btop in Arch [community]? I could move it if it has enough interest.

Yes, please. I added a vote on AUR as well.
