In Linux, there are numerous ways to view running processes, including both graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and command-line utilities.
For those using the GNOME desktop environment, the GNOME System Monitor is available, whereas KDE users can access the System Activity tool. However, universally available across Linux distributions and other Unix-based operating systems are the ps and top command-line utilities.
These command-line tools come pre-installed on most Linux systems and can be especially useful when managing remote systems via SSH.

Steps to check and list details of running processes in Linux:
- Use ps to view basic running processes.
$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 1082 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 1102 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
By default, ps selects all processes with the same effective user ID (euid=EUID) as the current user and associated with the same terminal as the invoker. It displays the process ID (pid=PID), the terminal associated with the process (tname=TTY), the cumulated CPU time in [DD-]hh:mm:ss format (time=TIME), and the executable name (ucmd=CMD). Output is unsorted by default.
- Apply options or flags with ps for detailed process information.
