This seems to be using eBPF, so presumably your kernel will have to support that (only stating Ubuntu 18.04 is a bit unfortunate).

18 is already 3-4 years ago :)

The version itself is fine, but specifically listing Ubuntu as a system requirement is strange. If Ubuntu truly is a requirement, the name of the project should be "ProcMon for Ubuntu".

Presumably it isn't, and the README should list the actual requirements (kernel versions, etc.), with a note to the effect of "packages are available for Ubuntu LTS releases since 18.04".

It could also just mean it hasn’t been tested on anything else. But yes, the README should mention these things.
