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.

htop because pretty colors and graphs.
Or top because it's like muscle memory now.
I like htop more, but btop has better colors and graphs (imo)
Well, you're not wrong. I was away from my desktop when I commented and forgot btop looked so fancy.
For now I still prefer htop because I can see at a glance the stuff I'm most interested in (mem & cpu and process sort).
I'll have to play with some of the other suggestions in the post...
I also am starting to play around with cockpit a little more for remote monitoring.
