pacapt VS htop

pacapt?

i use debian on some remote servers and, thankfully found this, which i immediately installed https://github.com/icy/pacapt because i have no idea how to successfully use apt. plus, i hate the formatting. so, nala is a positive, for sure!

You can do --sync --search but that isn't much better. There is this neat tool however: https://github.com/icy/pacapt I recently used it because I was in a hurry and had not time to read up on SLES and an ancient CentOS install I was forced to deal with. But I guess you had the opposite in mind.

The Arch Rosetta page spawned the lovely https://github.com/icy/pacapt , which is an automated form I use everywhere despite not actually having used Arch in years.

Oh dude, pacapt is your friend!

here ya go, buddy. -- https://github.com/icy/pacapt

You should take a look at pacapt

Like pacapt but the other way around

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.

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
