Teach me how to know which process is hogging my memory or CPU, in less than 5 steps without htop?

Launch top? Quick glance, type 'q', then kill

Lol, top. Try that to figure out the load on a 256 core DGX slurm setup with that shit. Top is barely usable on consumer hardware...

do you experience that often ? anyway, the plain, basic 'top' command can provide it to you. There's literally a column %CPU and %MEM

This. Type f, select %MEM, then type s and q.
