qlmka VS htop

In case anyone is interested, I created a small macOS Finder QuickLook plugin that uses Go for the heavy lifting, and that does not rely on Xcode for building. The actual details of the plugin don't really matter (just a personal itch I had to scratch), and none of this is rocket science, but it might be a useful starting point to anyone who wants to create a Quick Look plugin in Go and does not want to go through the hassle of creating and maintaining an Xcode project.

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
