1 . Can somebody explain to me what programs are used here?

• Program top left is the command htop (is similar to command top)
• Program top right is indeed a terminal and the bottom one is indeed vim

2 . And how to make such a byobu screen?

• Horizontal split: Ctrl+A S
• Vertical split: Ctrl+A | (there is a vertical screen patch that switches the shortcut to Ctrl+A V)
• To move the focus to the next split: Ctrl+A Tab
