What is the best, GUI, process monitor for Linux?

I'll ask you the same as below: "... I have to ask, do people really use Flatpaks for something like a process monitor? It feels like a process monitor should launch almost instantly. Waiting ~3 seconds for a Flatpak sandbox to spin up just to check system stats seems pretty frustrating."
They’re all kind of lacking imo compared to btop.

https://flathub.org/apps/io.missioncenter.MissionCenter is a good option though

btop is cool, cheers!

But I have to ask, do people really use Flatpaks for something like a process monitor? It feels like a process monitor should launch almost instantly. Waiting ~3 seconds for a Flatpak sandbox to spin up just to check system stats seems pretty frustrating.

Been a happy htop user for a long time but had never heard of btop, will definitely be switching :)

Thank you!
