Typically after I upgrade a flavor of Linux that I'm using say, ParrotOS or Linux Mint, bpytop just stops working. My only working theory is that maybe APT uninstalls something that bpytop needs to execute, but I just can't figure out what it is.

Install any Ubuntu/Debian based Linux system (That's what I use) Upgrade to system to a newer version (i.e, Debian 11 to Debian 12 or Linux Mint 21.3 to Linux Mint 22) Try to run bpytop

Bpytop to run normally.
