## What it is
gtop is a terminal-based system monitoring dashboard that displays CPU, memory, network, and process metrics in a graphical TUI. It is installed via npm and runs as an interactive command-line application.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu and memory usage in the terminal
- view running processes sorted by cpu or memory
- a graphical alternative to top or htop
- system monitoring dashboard for linux servers
- check network and disk activity from the command line

## When to choose
- you want a visually rich terminal dashboard for system metrics
- you prefer npm-installed node.js tooling
- you need quick process sorting by pid, cpu, or memory

## When to avoid
- you need full Windows support (only partial)
- you need remote or multi-host monitoring
- you want alerting or long-term metrics history
