The terminal window apps keep getting better. In the AUR and has mouse support too. This has a strong 1990's vibe and always looking for more.

In a very vague way, it reminds me of Soundtracker in Amiga.

Hello,

I sometimes use bpytop which looks the same.
I don't really understand the difference between the two.

This is one of my absolute favorite terminal based applications. I essentially use it in conjunction with my xfce4 terminal to give me a transparent conky-like wallpaper.

It is made by the same developer who created both bashtop and bpytop. The major difference is that since btop is written in c++, it starts up quite a bit faster and probably uses less resources.
