    why ? Why do you feel the need to have process monitoring displayed all the time?

      It’s a tool. It’s useful to figure out if something you’re running is IO-bound or CPU-bound. It also shows per-core load, which is useful for visualizing multi-threaded performance.

      You can sort and filter it.

      More generally, are you questioning why the Top category of tools exists?

        no, I am questioning why do you have those open all the time. in 17y, I never had to. This is just ASCII pr0n to look “deep” .

          I have it open all the time, exactly for this reason. 15 years and going.

          You are right, they aren’t open all the time except in screenshots. :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
