Michael Larabel writes in Phoronix about Microsoft's new open-source process monitor for Linux:
Microsoft's newest open-source Linux software is ProcMon for Linux, a rewritten and re-imagined version of its Processor Monitor found on Windows within their Sysinternals suite.
Microsoft's ProcMon tool is a C++-written, open-source process monitor for Linux that makes it convenient to trace system call activity. This ProcMon Linux version is open-source under an MIT license.
Microsoft released the source code to their ProcMon Linux version on Thursday and is marked as a 1.0 preview release. Microsoft is also making available a Debian/Ubuntu package of this preview build.
The Phoronix article includes a gif demonstrating ProcMon. To my amateur eyes, this looks like htop without the resource monitoring and instead has some stack tracing capabilities. Has anybody given Microsoft's ProcMon a test drive? What are your thoughts?

Hell will freeze over before I put ANYTHING MS on my systems. I spent my working years doing "Windows janitorial services" and when I retired I
decided I was DONE with anything to do with Microsoft. They have REALLY "jumped the shark" with Windows 10. I am so thankful it's no longer my
job to wrestle with junk like that...
America should be proud of Edward Snowden, the hero, whether they know it or not..

No shit. Wowee... A MS Open-Source Process Monitor for Linux. What a useful tool. Does it work on native Fedora? Does it call home?

What do you do when your family whines that they absolutely must have MS Office and all those high end PC games? They so do not care about the freedom to examine the code, they're lusers.

It's NOT a conspiracy... it's a plot.
