Should we worry about a process which is named like, mycode or something matching code?
Can we make sure it's delimited/a whole word?

We'd probably want to apply this logic to macOS, too.
Not sure if you have a macOS box so we could do this in a separate PR.

I am not sure. processNames under our control. ps -o comm output looks nice. It show

command name (only the executable name). Modifications to the command name will not be shown. A process marked <defunct> is partly dead, waiting to be fully destroyed by its parent. The output in this column may contain spaces. (alias ucmd, ucomm). See also the args format keyword, the -f option, and the c option.

in list like:

kworker/u8:3 led_workqueue lightdm
