btop reports some gpu, network and disk information that I don't think shows up in htop, feels a bit more comprehensive maybe? Both are fine, but I too use btop, it's nice.

Random trivia: I think btop has been rewritten like 3-5 times now? It's sort of an inside joke to the point that someone suggested another rewrite from C++ to Rust ( https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/5 ). I guess the guy just likes writing system monitoring console apps.
