htop

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
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/

distro hopping
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 ... )

Vimium
If you are really that into vim keys, I have my own htop version with vim keys, you can get the source from here, or get it in the AUR from here. It replaces your htop binary, and it is really easy to compile.

Vim users rejoice!
If not then just install from source, and maybe you can even be the first to package it for your distro.
