## What it is
s-tui is a terminal-based UI that graphically monitors CPU temperature, frequency, utilization, and power, and highlights thermal throttling. It includes a built-in CPU stress test and can optionally integrate with external stress tools like stress and stress-ng.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu temperature from the terminal
- stress test my cpu and watch temperatures
- detect cpu thermal throttling
- graph cpu frequency and utilization in a tui
- monitor cpu power draw without a gui
- run a cpu stress test over ssh

## When to choose
- you need CPU monitoring or stress testing on a headless machine with no X server
- you want to see thermal throttling effects in real time while stressing the CPU
- you prefer a lightweight terminal tool over GUI system monitors

## When to avoid
- you need GPU, memory, or disk monitoring rather than CPU metrics
- you want a graphical desktop application with rich charts and history
- you need remote multi-node monitoring or alerting
