CLUSTER DISPLAYS-LINUX-MONITOR · 12 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-03-03

Linux terminal system monitors

This cluster consists of terminal-based system monitors for Linux that display real-time CPU, memory, and process information, with some variants emphasizing futuristic interfaces. Entries appear sporadically from May 2025, with a slight increase in March and May 2026, but the overall pattern is irregular. The traction leaders are rtop-bin, cpumon, and jscpumonitor-bin, each with 0 stars, indicating no significant traction yet.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 12 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
