About:
Bottom is a terminal-based graphical system monitor written in Rust, designed for cross-platform performance. It provides a customizable, real-time view of CPU, memory, processes, and network usage with a mouse-friendly interface. The tool aims to be a modern, efficient alternative to traditional CLI monitors like top or htop.

Key Features:

Real-time monitoring for CPU, memory, processes, and network
Highly customizable layout and widgets
Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Mouse-friendly interactive interface
Written in Rust for memory safety and speed

Use Cases:

Monitoring system resources in real-time on servers or development machines
Diagnosing performance bottlenecks and resource-intensive processes
Replacing standard tools like top or htop with a more visual and customizable alternative

Alternatives:

htop – A more traditional, text-based process viewer with less visual customization.
glances – A Python-based monitor with more features but potentially higher resource usage.
