From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any existing Linux solutions for tracking energy/cpu usage (trend, not snapshot)? (lemmy.world)

Unless I'm using the wrong terms in my search it really seems like there's no tool for Linux that can tell me what processes used the most CPU (typically this has a high correlation with energy usage) in the last hour or 24 hours.

Basically I want something like the Android battery usage app but for Linux.

The top command will tell you what each process is using in terms of CPU and memory. You can log this to a database and analyse it as required.

I'd be surprised if the Android battery application was anything different.
