It’s very attractive, but it also seems to have a minimum window size requirement that exceeds the “stack” in my “master and stack.”

It’s great to use if you need a dashboard to track issues, but for a quick look at running processes, I think I’ll stick with htop.

btop doesn’t update all of the characters for me after a while if I leave it open for a long time, and eventually it stops updating altogether.

Can it show each core’s frequency? Or is there anything other than htop that can do that?

I don’t see any option in 1.2.13, and https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/190 suggests it isn’t implemented yet.

I do as well. I really appreciate the information density, key bindings, and optional web UI. Although I found if I leave glance is running for a prolonged amount of time, it has a tendency to crash from some python issue I haven’t dissected yet, as it takes so much time to reproduce.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
