I tried btop. It slowed my computer way the fuck down, so I went back to htop

    yeah you need a decently fast hw accelerated terminal for it
    for example, the gnome terminal is pretty slow; if you're using it, try running it in alacrity or kitty and see if that improves performance.

    My laptop went bonkers trying to run it, maybe I have something misconfigured somewhere. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but I couldn't because it was seemingly too resource intensive.

    Maybe you used bpytop, not btop? They look the same iirc.

    Oh, you might actually be right there... I'm not sure now I didn't realize there were alternatives.

    I remember trying it a while back when I found a list of fancy looking terminal apps. It was fancy, but it came at the cost of performance.
