Above all, under the name bpytop, bashtop appears for the first time as a Python application, which is now available in version 1.0.0. With the program, users can monitor the performance of a system, for example the processor and its cores, the main memory, the mass storage and the network traffic, but it also lists processes.
In bpytop there is a menu through which the user can make any settings. Furthermore, the application can be manipulated with the mouse, clickable buttons highlight it and the process list can also be navigated with the scroll wheel.
