The most beautiful system monitor

btop++ is gorgeous! The graphs, colors, and overall UI design put other monitors to shame. Runs smoothly even on my Raspberry Pi 4. The disk I/O visualization helps me identify bottlenecks instantly. This replaced both htop and iotop for me.

Good but htop is simpler for my needs

btop is beautiful, no doubt. But for my use case (just checking processes occasionally), htop's simpler interface is faster to understand at a glance. btop shines when you need detailed graphs and history. If you want eye candy and deep metrics, go btop. For quick checks, htop wins.
