A useful addition to the "top" tools. I've been using the old "top", which I first installed in 1989, and "ksysguard" more recently. But this "btop" is a nice curses-based (I assume) tool to add to the repertoire. There's always something new in linux that I didn't know about!
People often ask me about this fancy-looking Linux monitoring tool when they see me using it in my videos—it's called 'btop' and it's available via the package manager of almost every modern Linux distro (e.g. `sudo apt install btop`)

Plasma 6から使いやすかったksysguardが廃止されて使いづらいplasma-systemmonitorに置き換わったので別のタスクマネージャー使ってたんだが､ksysguardの復刻版があった
Plasma 5時代のksysguardと同じく使いやすくて最高

tbh i still prefer ksysguard over the current kde system monitor, it just feels a bit better to use

....ne faisait jamais crash le système car j'avais ksysguard apparament qui tuait les processus qui faisaient ds fuite de ram
Par contre sur mint, la même app bugue m'a fait crash le système plein de fois
Mais c etknnant que t perdu des data, j'ai pas eu ce soucis

Plasma 6.6 lets you configure scheduling priorities
As Plasma 6.6 goes into bug fixing stage before the final release, this week, the KDE Plasma team has added a new feature to the System Monitor that restores a feature related to processor and input/output process priority management that existed in the older KSysGuard program. This allows you to set priorities for a process in both contexts. When you open the "Set Priority" window for a specific process, the following CPU scheduling options are available:

Pro tip: If you're trying to run SMBX on Wine, you need to install vb6run from Winetricks according to this page: forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.ph...
Once it's running, don't maximize it because it'll start flickering really bad and it's difficult to close even with KSysGuard, at least on KDE...

I figured out how to make all the other apps go into the background and fade out when opening the context menu for an app. I had to set the scale for the thing that contains the text and the icon instead of the button itself as otherwise...

Why use top or htop when you have GNOME System Monitor, KSysGuard, Cockpit, Mission Center and other to monitor your system performance.

my least favorite lore is that the plasma-systemmonitor aka the old ksysguard replacement relies on systemd for the app.slice in order to show me what applications are running. I heard the old "well you need cgroups v2 which systemd provides" and so i double […]
