htop is great, but I've migrated to bottom which has a very similar interface with "btm --basic".

interesting. could you share the advantages of "btm --basic" over htop?

Not the OP, but the graphs over time are a nice touch.

btm --basic doesn't show graphs. but that is the point because when i saw the graphs i felt that while that is nice, that's not a replacement for top/htop. it's something different. btm --basic however looks very similar to htop. so similar that i didn't see the benefit.
