Let’s take a look. - -**Recommended Read**: [7 System Monitoring Tools for Linux to Keep an Eye on Vital System Stats][2] - -### 1. atop - -![atop 2022][3] - -[atop][4] is all about running process details. You get all the data you need to understand the processing on your system. - -It also provides the ability to make a permanent log of resource utilization for long-term analysis. A system administrator might find this more useful than anyone else. - -Unfortunately, it does not provide you with a pretty output. So, if you want that, keep looking at the other options below. - -#### How to install atop? - -For Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions, type in: - -``` -sudo apt install atop -``` - -### 2. vtop - -![vtop 2022][5] - -[vtop][6] is the perfect system monitoring utility if you want a good-looking output and essential features to manage processes. - -The output looks like a GUI in a terminal, as I’ve stated in some of my other articles. You can have mouse support or choose to disable it. The theme can also be customized. - -It is built using Node.js. So, you need to install additional packages to get it installed. - -Unfortunately, this project seems to be no longer actively maintained. But, it worked for me at the time of writing this article. - -#### How to install vtop? - -For Ubuntu-based distros, enter the following commands in the terminal: - -``` -sudo apt install nodejs -sudo apt install npm -sudo npm install -g vtop -``` - -### 3. btop++ - -![btop][7] - -[btop++][8] is a C++ version of bashtop and bpytop.

For Ubuntu-based distros, type in the following in the terminal: - -``` -sudo apt install nmon -``` - -### Wrapping Up - -![top 2022][12] - -The top command utility comes baked in with your Linux system. If you want a no-nonsense monitoring utility and want to keep an eye on system processes and some stats, top is sufficient. - -Not sure if I can count it as an enhanced experience over htop and that’s the reason why top is not included in the main list. - -As you can see here, some monitoring utilities may be fun and prove to be more insightful than htop. - -_What is your favorite htop replacement?
