#htop

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

OMG happened again.

Who programmed the UI in #htop so that it always changes my selection between highlighting a process and hitting the kill button???

Takes like a single manual test to know that this is the wrong behavior.

Farooq sees 71% RAM usage on his poor laptop. And he opens htop and immediately presses M.

The processes are looking carefully at Farooq. And Farooq is looking carefully at them. Who is the Mafia and who is the Townie?

And then Farooq finds out tons of LibreWolf processes, consuming together much of the RAM...

Finally the death knocks the door of one of processes.

Farooq feels a relief. RAM usage is back to normal.

Hi fellow Linux fan's.

Can I get an interpretation of what Htop is telling me about my memory resources please?

I read it as less than 2% of around 16GB used currently.

So, what is the graphical, 'fuel-gauge', representation 'saying'?
