htop: show processes of all users except root

Question

I am aware of the -u option in htop, where I can show only processes of a given user, such as:

htop -u root

I am wondering whether there is a way to show processes of all user except root.

This is not possible, as of htop 0.8.3.

Source: the source code.

The best you can do is sort processes by user, root's processes will be conveniently lumped together.

Is this possible with the latest htop version? – alper Feb 23 '23 at 13:32
@alper I don't think so. The feature request was rejected and I can't see anything like that in the interface of htop 3.0.5, but I haven't checked the source code. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Feb 23 '23 at 15:03
