I was using tmux to consolidate TUI monitors in both tabs and panes. What's the advantage of perfmon?

Wow, looks great. Just a quick general recommendations:

You should give a direct curl to an install.sh to provide a simpler installation step for you tool and besides I think it would be good to publish it on home brew for MacOS users.

This post came in a good moment because I am developing a CLI and I want to add some interactivity to it in the next major version and in some way your CLI has helped me with that.

This is my CLI (https://github.com/elC0mpa/aws-doctor)

There you can check how I implemented the home brew distribution and the install.sh file for the easy installation step

Looks pretty good, but would love to know this compares to bottom (btm), featurewise. Thanks!

Perfmon essentially allows you to define commands you use daily, defined them in a toml file and tab them, ie customizable. It could be docker or kubernetes commands and so on. This is different from btm.

Bottom(btm) gives just more graphical than top.

Ha, I've literally never heard of bottom, and haven't looked it up yet, but it's just kind of funny doing Linux/Unix forever and knowing almost exactly what it must be about, just given the name. I'll edit this if I was wrong, but I bet I won't be.
