  • btop

    A monitor of resources

  • On the surface looks like an improvement over htop ( which I've been using for 10+ years )

    But this is the kind of software that I would want to keep using. Will btop keep being supported? Is btop going to be available in practically all distros I use? Even currently on Arch its only in the AUR.

    Its also concerning there is btop[0] and bpytop[1]? I don't understand the difference.

  • bottom

    Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.

  • Maybe bottom[0]? I use bpytop but probably wouldn't recommend it on account of how heavy it is. I remember bottom being pretty lightweight when I used it, without sacrificing readability.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • below

    A time traveling resource monitor for modern Linux systems

  • I have been using glances for a terminal sysmon but I don't like that it eats so much RAM. Can someone please recommend a system monitor that is easy to comprehend and less resource hungry?

    I am also curious about below [0] since it came up recently.

    View disk space usage and delete unwanted data, fast.

  • awesome-alternatives-in-rust

  • iotop

    A top utility for IO

  • I recommend the C reimplementation of iotop btw, it has lots more features and is more efficient and is maintained. It is packaged as iotop-c in Debian and other distros.

  • XADMaster

    Objective-C library for archive and file unarchiving and extraction

    in difference to unp and atool, unar does not depend on other tools to unpack the actual archive
