Demystifying the Top Command in Linux | Linux Crash Course Series

[@christoptimist]

Big helpful to those who want to learn about Linux. I bought some of courses through online, but your explanation is so detailed, and it is so easy to understand.

Pressing 1 is also important to see how many cores are on wait.

Great video, as always! Thank you for going into detail on the top command. While I've come to understand most of the data on the top screen, you helped explain more of the lesser-known (at least to me) sections of the screen. I also appreciate the top vs. htop statements at the end. Thank you, again.

Your Linux tutorials are amazing, super clear and useful! Thank you so much!

I liked how you worked the book in :) I learned a long time ago to write notes to my future self. Though I can't imagine how much work it would take to make them into a book that would help anyone else

4:47 I have 3 users logged in, although: 1) I'm the only one who owns and uses the laptop. 2) I have one user on Linux. There's a reason. I signed in to tty1, tty2, and tty3. Should I sign in to tty5, then the number of users increases from 3 to...

[@princeardalan]

What is the unit for the memory numbers listed? Are they in Bytes? Mega Bytes?

[@macsoyyo]

You missed the S column 😢 nice video ! Good job

[@liamray2010]

Thank you!

avail is not related to virtual memory at all. It reflects the amount of available physical memory which equals to the sum of the amount of free memory which labelled as free + the amount of memory being used for cache and buffering which labelled as buff/cache.

I want to know, how to build custom ubuntu server image, so that I have some package installed and customization done. Like how we download ISO from Ubuntu. Thank you

[@ahmedghallab5342]

شكرا Thanks it was very helpful

[@DaveSomething]

I used to use top, now htop... f10 to quit (years later, still haven't gotten used to that)

[@ttom3923]

you can quit with q from htop

[@DaveSomething]

@@ttom3923 and oddly, I've never even considered it! thank you!

[@christopherjackson2157]

Also on macos. If u ever end up with the unenviable task of troubleshooting a MacBook ❤

[@mihai6564]

good video

[@NatePick]

I will mention that btop is the better graphical top if anyone wants something that looks good.

[@quintonchristie7149]

Hola. Random rant; after my last update my MX Linux suddenly does not recognize the soundcard on my HP EliteBook 840 G7 Notebook PC, and the MX forums are crap, to say the least. Why did this happen? I'm not tech svy enough to mess with the terminal, kernel, cookbook, codes, whatever; I just want my laptop to have sound again. How does one fix this, or what can I read to help me (or the person I'm going to take my laptop to, our local HP HQ)?

[@thomasowusu-cl9wv]

can you kill a zombie process

[@danielpicassomunoz2752]

So... linode is gone
