One of my favorite things about htop are some of the projects that have been created that are modeled after htop but focus on information other than system resources. Cointop [0] is one of these projects that comes to mind. [0] https://github.com/miguelmota/cointop https://github.com/miguelmota/cointop

intel_gpu_top helped me solve a mysterious performance issue on a MacBook after countless hours of fruitless investigation. Overheating and throttling was an issue but even after I fixed it the system would lag hard - instantly when I used the external 4k display, and after a while on the internal 1440p screen. Turns out cool-retro-term was maxing out the integrated Intel GPU which caused the entire system to stutter and lag. Unfortunately both the MBP and my current XPS 15 are unable to drive cool-retro-term on a 4k display with the CPU integrated graphics, and they both overheat and throttle if I use the nvidia graphics card :/ It's a really cool terminal though: https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term

  It's amazing that we think it's a good idea to pack powerful hardware into laptops that are too thin to actually make use of that hardware.

    There's a lot of different usages that may not heat the GPU as much. Also Windows might have better thermal management in the drivers. CPU wise, Intel defines their TDP as the average heat dissipation, but the CPU can boost higher than this. But from what I understand they tell manufactures to design to the TDP.

    It's more amazing to me that this modern powerful hardware can't emulate technology from 1983 without overheating.

      Modern powerful hardware has a hard time emulating a glass of water with good fidelity. Reproducing physical effects like ghosting is often harder than it looks.

    Laptops have very poor cooling. I have a Clevo laptop with a great processor but it will sometimes throttle itself to cool down. Great for small bursts of activity such as compilation but I don't understand how they could market these laptops as gaming machines. Running ffmpeg stabilizes the temperature at a healthy 96 degrees.

Focus on information does not requires ncurses. Try: elinks http://cmplot.com/accessible-index.html http://cmplot.com/accessible-index.html (the other parts require subscription)

  Why is everything in scientific notation? This is about as sensible as the concept of picodollars.

    The mantissa change more on a day to day basis than the exponent, allowing more information density for the relevant parts

  It doesn't require, but damn, my life would be so bleak without ncurses.

  To me a browser for this seems like overkill, but I can understand the argument that "everyone already has a browser open", even if I don't think that it leads to good places.

  I know iotop exists, but I've never used it.

    htop can do all (most?) of what iotop can. Press S in htop and you can select to show i/o-related data, including number of bytes and number of operations in total and per second. You will need to be root to look at most i/o related data.

  jnettop Well, it has "top" in the name. ^__~ I would say that jnettop is more similar to nethogs than htop...

Shameless plug: aria2p. I built an interactive interface very similar to htop to see your aria2 downloads progress. https://github.com/pawamoy/aria2p https://github.com/pawamoy/aria2p
