It turs out, there are a lot of tops out there. I thought I might find pw-top usefule. I found these 3 that might fit the bill for you. I had heard of the first two before. It all depends on how you define "better". I find top pretty much does what I need, mnost of the time.
Maybe atop:
An advanced interactive monitor for Linux-systems to view the load on system-level and process-level. The command atop has some major advantages compared to other performance-monitors: - Resource consumption by all processes - Utilization of all relevant resources - Permanent logging of resource utilization - Highlight critical resources - Watch activity only - Watch deviations only - Accumulated process activity per user - Accumulated process activity per program
or btop:
Modern and colorful command line resource monitor that shows usage and stats https://github.com/aristocratos/btop Apache-2.0 and MIT and Public Domain Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.
C++ version and continuation of bashtop and bpytop.
or maybe bpytop:
Resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.
Python port and continuation of bashtop.
