5 htop Alternatives to Enhance Your Linux System Monitoring Experience
htop is a popular command-line tool to help monitor the system’s resources and performance on Linux.
It’s better than top, often available by default out of the box.
With htop, you can filter and sort processes to understand things better, get a tree view of the processes running, and kill processes when needed.
I use htop over other system monitoring tools because it displays what’s essential to me and allows terminating rogue/frozen processes when I need to take control of running services.
But, if you want something else that displays more info or looks different, what are some htop alternatives? Let’s take a look.
