        My laptop went bonkers trying to run it, maybe I have something misconfigured somewhere. I wanted to like it because it looks great, but I couldn’t because it was seemingly too resource intensive.

            Somebody mentioned I may have been running bpytop, so maybe this whole thing is my bad. I honestly can’t remember what I ran now - I thought it was btop

      yeah you need a decently fast hw accelerated terminal for it
      for example, the gnome terminal is pretty slow; if you’re using it, try running it in alacrity or kitty and see if that improves performance.

        I’ll have to check it out. I’ve seen kitty mentioned a few times but I’m an oldschool xterm kinda guy lol

        Oh, you might actually be right there… I’m not sure now I didn’t realize there were alternatives.

        I remember trying it a while back when I found a list of fancy looking terminal apps. It was fancy, but it came at the cost of performance.
