On Linux, we have command-line tools that can display a whole range of
information for you to choose from
<https://manpages.debian.org/ps(1)>. (Yes, the backward-compatibility
machinery being carried around in that particular piece of software is
at once horrifying and impressive.)

And most of this info comes from Linux APIs that can be accessed just
by reading from virtual files in places like /proc and /sys. So it’s
easy to write something as simple as a shell script to show some
similar information.
