    I prefer htop but that is just me. It is more configurable and easier on the old eyes.

    Thank you for sharing. However, 'htop' required to be installed separately and is missing from base repositories on RHEL-based systems.

    Is it just me, but Memory usage in Tools & Setting is not correct and it is not updating itself upon refresh. Whenever you have some larger processes running then the usage is going up, but it will stay there and never go back to normal before the restart has been applied. Anyone else having the same issue?
