Built a modern terminal dashboard in Python because I wanted something cleaner than htop/btop
Been working on Vortex, a TUI hardware monitor for Linux, with the main goal of creating a cleaner, more modern look than the standard tools I use daily.
It’s built entirely in Python and covers the basics like:
CPU/GPU/RAM monitoring
Real-time process tracking
Network & disk stats
A responsive, live-updating dashboard
I’m really happy with how the UI is shaping up, but I’d love to get some feedback from the TUI/Linux community. What features do you feel are missing in current terminal monitors that you’d actually use?
