I just discovered a new tool: *btop*. What I found useful are - cpu frequency - network speed
This looks exactly like `bpytop` which I encountered several years ago and really liked. But it soon vanished from the Debian(?) repos. It was written in Python and it was a bit sluggish, so I had mixed feelings and didn't go looking to build it myself. As it turns out, `btop` is by the same author - which explains the similarity of appearance. If you look at the two git repos, it looks like `btop` is being worked on and `bpytop` has been abandoned. Using C++ for this version probably addressed the sluggishness. Glad to see this is still around (and in the Debian repos), thanks for pointing it out. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
