top vs htop

[CloudKnight]

I'm a glances fan.

[DustinB3403]

I get weird glances while I'm outside. . . does that count?

[JaredBusch]

Between top and htop, I prefer htop. But that is not native installed on most distributions.

Given a choice, I also prefer glances

htop

top

That sucks. It looks like a nice interface for a few seconds before it starts erroring out really bad.

I have maybe 50+ linux boxes I access on a monthly basis and all of them have glances installed and I have never seen that.

I've never seen that either, even when installing it on old AF linux boxes.
