Wouldn't mind one, think of it as a more normie htop.

Windows task manager is pretty comfy. 10/10 would use.

It's something I would expect to find in Unity, but ultimately redundant.

in loonix there's not as much difference between task and process as it is in windblows

So basically a graphical frontend to top?

What would that offer except looking better than top or htop?

Wouldn't mind one but don't really see the point.

>clearlooks
best theme

It has nothing to do with htop

Use htop

...

god linux kids are such cancer. hurr durr I'm so cool and a special snowflake using unconventional pieces of shit

>htop
>unconventional

shiggy

clone Process Explorer instead

do it

htop is useful when you need to monitor servers that are hundreds of miles away

>unconventional
htop is THE standard.

Mah nigga.

Great taste.
Clearlooks + Tango master race.

Those graphs in the menu bar always made me giggle.

+1

Chugs up the CPU sometimes but 90% of the time it does everything I need. I wish they'd make the End Process more aggressive though, I had to resort to using some random ass Unlocker program to MEGAKILL tasks that had stuck handles or whatever.

Resource Monitor is pretty neat, too.

someone clone the windows 8 task manager pls, the tab with network and disk usage
only thing I like in modern windows

REEEEEEEEE

the fact that htop lets you search the process list and task manager doesn't is enough reason to use htop.

gnome-system-monitor has comfy graphs.

>graphs are so haxxx0r

Nay

htop is better anyway

why can't you add that feature to a win style process manager.

>unconventional
htop is *the* industry standard. Hipsters would use something like plain top or glances

The network management industry. In all other areas, even IT professionals only use Windows

Yay.

yay if its better than gnome system monitor

In case it wasn't obvious enough by the “for Linux” in the title, this thread was about linux - not windows.

htop is the industry standard among linux administrators. What corporate farts use on their windows XP boxes doesn't matter

...

This.

10/10 would install.

>linux sets my ass on fire
Sad...

The newer gnome system monitor is already pretty damn good. No real need for a replacement imo.

Process Explorer is so much better than Task Manager

Back to Sup Forums with you

I've always saw my colleagues (I'm a sysadmin) using top instead of htop but consider centos/rhel doesn't have htop in the main repo, you need to enable EPEL

Looks like eye cancer. No wonder Linux is so dead in the desktop market. Completely impractical and not user-friendly in the slightest.

>Process Explorer
get outta here noob

It's shit. If I want to know how memory usage has been during the last 60 seconds there's no way to know at a glance from just that. If you don't accept that a GUI is superior you should neck yourself hipster faggot.

sure
release the code???

taskkill /f /im processna*
from the command prompt often works better

>If I want to know how memory usage has been during the last 60 seconds
That's only relevant for Sup Forums-tier ricing. Either you only care about what the system is doing NOW, or your servers log everything to a central analytics machine anyway.

Personally the only time I use top over htop is in one of these two situations:

1. ‘top’ somehow isn't installed (not usually the case since our stock ansible scripts install all of the management tools that we expect to be available)

2. I want to find out at a glance what's causing system load: Solely for the reason that top also displays I/O statistics (% of time spent waiting on I/O) and htop does not.

I already have Gnome System Monitor.

>simple straightforward text on a clear black background isn't enough
>user friendly means it must be loaded with trendy bullshit

When will this low quality meme die?

This and there's a hundred fucking process explorers and task mangers for Linux gnu already

I used to think that things like top on Linux are kind of annoying to use and that I'd like to have something like Task Manager on Windows, but now I don't know what I'd do without something like htop. It's actually perfect.

It's not hard to use at all. You can select processes with the mouse and scrollwheel or keyboard quite easily, and kill any process with whatever signal you want, whether that be SIGTERM or SIGKILL or SIGUSR1 or whatever. Also it has a tree view, which is very nice and intuitive. Task Manager feels like it's lacking this after you get used to the tree view, though I think there is a graphical task manager alternative for Windows which works similarly.

htop does seem a bit awkward on its default settings, but if you press F2, you can quite easily change the settings and "Hide userland process threads" and a few other things to make it cleaner.

It also does actually let you display graphs of anything. Pic related shows a graph of memory usage. It's got a nice menu for configuring what stats it displays and how it shows them at the top.

htop is missing disk and network usage though
there is io_wbytes and io_rbytes but it's not the same..

...

...

nice, thanks!
but what is this ramX?

ramdisks I think?

try lsblk or mount

yup, I had forgotten how many tmpfs I've mounted
looking into glances configuration, seems a fine tool
is there a gui frontend? from the dependencies looks like a python program

Linux has a lot of other things to worry about. Like making apps that actually work without a DOS prompt.

>is there a gui frontend?
who cares

0/10

glances

(you)

meanwhile my windows has about 50
and you lunixfags dare to call windows bloated
