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.

Please give a try for btop - not Rust based, but pretty good and seem to be superior to btm.

I don't have any particular allegiance to rust, though once it's set up, being able to install through cargo rather than being to figure out whatever package manager or build system is nice, especially on various HPC environments where I don't have sudo.

Btop does look cool though
