I’ve given both htop and btop a spin, and I have to say that I really prefer htop. It offers a prettier interface and more features than top, while still feeling less bloated than btop to me. So yeah, it’s definitely my go-to choice!

Did you mean the upper right corner of top? I also fine btop is overwhelming, too pretty to look at.
Why do you think that? After this post, I will try out both of them but maybe eventually I will still just use top out of, same as you bro, habit.
I was just like you, but one day I got a USB stick and decided, ‘Heck, I’m gonna install Linux today!’. And it was surprisingly easy, I haven’t seen anything weird.
