plotext VS htop

To plot the graph, we will use a python package called plotext. Plotext lets you plot scatter, line, bar, histogram, and date-time plots (including candlesticks) directly on the terminal. First, we need to install this package.

Plotext works similar but isn't as magical.

nice little project :)

on a tangent I was playing with https://github.com/piccolomo/plotext for a bit (especially on a data analysis server connected over ssh it's quite useful, if you don't have the bandwidth to start a jupyter notebook).

I have shared my Zettelkasten before, but I stumbled across plotext today. It creates plots and displays them directly in the terminal. I wrote a little python script that parses all my notes, aggregates them according to the month they were written and then plots them in a time series. Super fun little project. If your notes are file names formatted as `yyyymmddHHMM` the script should work for you as well. Hopefully someone else finds this useful.

There’s a ticket for that https://github.com/piccolomo/plotext/issues/26

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
