Description

Seen a post asking sysadmins "What’s your first command when a Linux box feels off?"

Of course I knew my answer is btop but the top answer was hostname, obviously to make sure we sshed in to the right box.

And since btop has covered most of the other answers like df, uptime, ps,...

I wonder if hostname should maybe not be somewhere in the interface. Maybe next to the clock at the top, or somewhere around uptime. With max length set, to have predictable width.

One con I thought of is that people use btop for screenshots and maybe they might prefer not to show hostname...

so just an idea..
