Never heard of Glances, but heard of most of the rest, and used many of them. Generally speaking given my low-performance laptop has 16GB ram and a dual-core quad-threaded Intel Core (as opposed to Atom) processor, I don't really monitor resources. My systems are powerful enough to handle whatever I throw at them. But htop is my preferrred when I do need to keep an eye on them. Of course, MOST of the time, I'll use Ksysguard to monitor, because it's included with Plasma and it has a gui...

Exceot for my older laptops that can only use 4gb of ram I dont monitor resources much either. Prefer htop but ksysguard as you mentioned is easy to use with my KDE distros.

Wasnt familiar with all of them and frankly had only used two of them. With many modern distros including their own monitors I never got around to looking at many alternatives.

I'll be honest with most of the *top's, I can't tell them apart. They look more or less the same to me, so I stick with htop because it's the first *top (other than, you know, TOP) that I ever used.

Htop was the first one I had ever tried so its been my go to ever since.
