I've relatively recently migrated over to using btop[0], and it's the kind of modern interface, useful and informative, that I needed.

As others mention it - it seems to shows the Watts used as well :) (and network, and GPU, and disks,....)

I like btop, but there are downsides:

1.) No zram/zswap statistics. (Though htop only supports zram also.)

2.) No ZFS statistics breakdown.

3.) Doesn't support Arc GPU yet.

4.) I can't disable the disk fill bars, which makes the I/O rate graphs extremely squished unless the console window is very large.

I still occasionally use alpine as a base image for containers and it looks like both doesn’t do musl so that’s out.

Long time user of btop. Only thing it is missing is a ports column next to the others. Also I think the cpu/gpu graph graph is way oversized and would like more space occupied by the open file table in general.
