Bpytop is a powerful and visually appealing resource monitor for the command-line interface. You can find the bpytop project on GitHub. The repository provides detailed information about bpytop, including installation instructions, usage examples, and documentation.

It’s Bpytop

Monitor system resources usage: This can be done by using a tool top, ps, htop or bpytop. These tools let you introspect the processes running on a Linux system and the resources they're consuming.

htop is powerful, but considered old-school, the cool kids use glances, netdata or bpytop now.

Check out btop. It’s a rewrite of bpytop in C++. Both are from the same author. FYI, bpytop is also a rewrite of bashtop in python.

Probably everyone knows about the "top" command. Htop is similar, but gives us a more user-friendly output. It shows processes using the most resources, how much available resources you have and who runs those processes. For more information, visit https://htop.dev/

determine which processes consume specific resources (in your particular case even a "5 minutes session of staring at htop" would do the trick.) (Alternatives: ps -ef, ps aux, top, glances ... )

When you see the laptop throttling, is htop or another monitoring program showing that the RAM is full, or is it only partly used?

I like htop to check system resources

try htop. It's already on Ubuntu, not sure about other flavors.

Program it in yourself: https://github.com/htop-dev/htop

htop is a colour-coded command-line system monitor, process viewer, and process manager. It shows a list of processes running on your computer ordered by CPU usage
