Are we all just using htop?
What are some other good ones for killing processes and seeing what’s running?

Yes, htop. And occasionally I’m in the mood for
btop.+1 for btop
yeah I like btop too!
When you want people to think you are mad hax. Btop. It isn’t the most succinct display. But damn it’s purdy.
htop scales better on small terminal windows, but btop is prettier and more useful if I dedicate a whole monitor to it.
+1 htop
Terminal. The way God intended .
Thank you for this. Great read
I like bashtop!
System monitor
Used to top, now I btop
Used to top, now I bottom
I thought this was implied? /s
come system monitor, even on other desktop environments
I’m probably older than most of you, and I’m not going for the “get off my lawn” answer like the rest of you. Mission center - because graphical user interfaces add value
I prefer Resources but I like Mission Center as well. Plasma’s System Monitor has come a long way as well.
Im all for graphical if its functional, and doesn’t change visually with updates
pgrepandpkill -9when those work for unresponsive programsKDE’s System Monitor when using the above doesn’t work
For looking cool/viewing running programs:
btopI just use “ps aux” . Like one of the big boys.
Mission control, its way easier to see what’s going on and kill it when necessary
CTRL ALT BACKSPACE always been my favorite « task manager »
Yeah when something doesn’t seem to be working right, that’s my go-to
Usually have
tmuxsplit into panes withhtop,nmonandnloadrunning whilst I’m doing whatever in the final quadrantIt’s interesting to watch what happens on my NAS when I run a backup, to see that the CPU, network and disks don’t do what you think they’ll do when they do whatever they’re doing
I usually only use
htopto monitor resource usage. I mostly kill stuff withkillallor the good oldps aux | grep ... killcombo.s/killall/pkill/
topI use htop over SSH, otherwise any DE I’m using usually provides one and I use that.
