About btop++
btop++ is the C++ rewrite of bashtop and bpytop. It shows processes and their usage in a sortable, filterable list, alongside graphs for CPU, memory, disks and network, all inside a terminal window and all navigable with the mouse as well as the keyboard.
It ships with a set of themes, supports GPU monitoring on compatible hardware, and builds on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. Every distribution packages it, so installing it is usually one command.
Strengths
- Sortable, filterable process list with per-process detail, driven by mouse or keyboard
- Graphs for CPU, memory, disks and network in one screen
- GPU monitoring on supported hardware
- Themeable, and packaged by essentially every Linux distribution
Limitations
- No native Windows build; on Windows you need WSL
- It reports and does not manage: there is no alerting or historical logging
- Needs a terminal with 256-colour or true-colour support to look right
