Official support

bottom officially supports the following operating systems and corresponding architectures:

  • macOS (x86_64)
  • Linux (x86_64, i686, aarch64)
  • Windows (x86_64, i686)

These platforms are tested to work (with caveats, see below) and issues on these platforms will be fixed if possible.

Furthermore, binaries are expected to be built and tested using the most recent version of stable Rust - if you are manually building bottom from the repo/source, then please try that as well.

Known problems

Windows

  • The temperature widget seems to require elevated access in some cases to get data.
  • The battery widget seems to have issues with dual battery systems, like some Thinkpads.
  • If you run on WSL/WSL2, you may have issues with getting memory data.
  • WSL and WSL2 (as far as I know) cannot correctly report temperature sensors.
  • WSL2 will not match Windows' own Task Manager in terms of data.

macOS

  • The process widget may require elevated access (ex: sudo btm) to gather all data in some cases. Please note that you should be certain that you trust any software you grant root privileges.
