hardinfo VS htop

Check your SSD's firmware, SSD-Z is a good one under Windows for example http://aezay.dk/aezay/ssdz/ Hardinfo is a good one under Linux, most distro has it in their repo https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo

I'm running Docker on Linux Mint, and when connecting the Elegoo Neptune 3 I could see the device appear as a "QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter" in hardinfo and also by running lsusb in Terminal.

Hardinfo: Pretty much anything you could want to know except process monitoring. A good complement to the simpler process monitors.

(And if you're wondering "doesn't that code say 1024? my error message said 896", that's because they changed the buffer size — and used the wrong "old buffer size" in their commit message — in a later version of hardinfo than that you are running.)

These certainly aren't forgotten, but I like:

* `ranger` file manager: https://ranger.github.io/

* `ncdu` for visualising disk usage: https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu

* `htop` process monitor: https://htop.dev/

I just find them very intuitive, and information-dense while not being overwhelming.

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.

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
