Does anyone know the difference? I have been using htop since about 20 years.

Is btop basically just extending where it can run?



Lots of quality of life changes. Maybe some of them can be done in htop but with btop it's right in your face:

- CPU usage graph (global and per cpu)

- CPU temp + graph

- GPU usage

- Memory graphs

- Disks space infos + real-time IO

- Network graph, one for each network device, upload/download stats since opening the app

- Per program cpu graph, memory graph

You should try it.


I switched because btop provides vi-like keybindings. For htop I think you have to use a fork to get that.


Enhanced stats reporting really. Shows you processes, network throughput et cetera.
