An annoying thing about btop is that it only uses the snap package manager and nothing else. You can still install it yourself easily but I don’t understand why they’d stick stick with snap alone.

The first installation method it shows for Linux systems is download a statically compiled binary and it already exists on the repos of every major distro. Where the only uses snap comes from?

htop has much better support for more obscure unices, fwiw. Supports every BSD, whatever Solaris is called these days.

Btop seems to only support Macos, Linux and FreeBSD.
