gotop VS vtop

Not sure these are really popular, but I cannot resist advertising a few utilities written in Go that I regularly use in my daily workflow:

- gdu: a NCDU clone, much faster on SSD mounts [1]

- duf: a `df` clone with a nicer interface [2]

- massren: a `vidir` clone (simpler to use but with fewer options) [3]

- gotop: a `top` clone [4]

- micro: a nice TUI editor [5]

Building this kind of tools in Go makes sense, as the executables are statically compiled and are thus easy to install on remote servers.

If you like htop, you're going to love [bottom](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) or gotop

gotop looks awesome! Here's a maintained fork that's linked to from the original, archived GitHub repo.

There also is btm that shows more host's parameters or gotop

I am the author of go-global-update, the missing command to update globally installed go executables (like gofumpt, gopls, gotop, and other CLI tools you may have installed globally in your system - in your GOBIN directory).

but I also like gotop - https://github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop because it combines processes with the same name and has a very large cpu graph - this is helpful for large machines with many CPUs running a lot of processes

A combination of Bpytop and Gotop for me. Both are great in their own way, but I find Gotop a bit more clear/less cluttered.

gotop is real nice too

I was looking for a system monitor tool like top but with Vim bindings, mainly for monitoring CPU usage, and stumbled across vtop. It's great, but it hasn't been updated in four years. Is there any active fork of vtop available, or do you guys know of any similar tool out there?

vtop displays info about processes your system has running, general info about the memory and CPU usage of your machine

vtop: A graphical activity monitor for the command line.

Surprised nobody's mentioned vtop. Especially nice because if you already have npm, you can just do npx vtop without needing to install it first. (I'm sure it's not the only JS tool in this thread, though)

i use neofetch for the spec, and vtop for the process viewer

vtop - More better top, with nice charts.

with braille characters, like vtop? or something even nicer?

Those are CLI applications. Top left neofetch, top right is top, which every ? unix machine has access to and bottom left is cmatrix. Instead of top, you also can try vtop or htop.
