@John,

Thanks for your suggestion!

I’ve already covered Atop in a dedicated article on Tecmint, where I go in-depth on its features, installation, and usage. You can check it out here: [How to Install ‘atop’ to Monitor Logging Activity in Linux]

Incredible improvement in performance. Makes life bearable again and frees up lots of floor space.

Have a look on Github, for me, it’s by far the best one as regards Linux System monitoring.

@Ajrun,

htop is great, but there are definitely more options to explore. Let me know if you try any new ones and how they work for you!
