On the surface looks like an improvement over htop ( which I've been using for 10+ years )

But this is the kind of software that I would want to keep using. Will btop keep being supported? Is btop going to be available in practically all distros I use? Even currently on Arch its only in the AUR.

Its also concerning there is btop[0] and bpytop[1]? I don't understand the difference.

I think bpytop is the previous version writtten in Python. btop++ is a cpp re-write


And, as I just found while poking around, `bpytop` is also a rewrite, of the original(?) `bashtop`.


Would you like to have btop in Arch [community]? I could move it if it has enough interest.


Yes, please. I added a vote on AUR as well.


Yes!
