BpyTop is a resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes. If it looks familiar to you, that’s because it’s a python port of Bashtop.
FSM EXCLUSIVE DEAL BpyTop is developed by the same guy that released Bashtop and, at first glance, there’s no difference between the two programs other than one being written in bash and the other in python.
However, BpyTop is faster than bashtop and it’s not as CPU heavy. Compared to bashtop, BpyTop also includes mouse support, toggleble mini mode, graphs for memory consuptions.
