Description

linux is missing the entries for IntelliJ if it was installed as snap package.

Commands are:

intellij-idea-ultimate
intellij-idea-community

The problem is that they both run as idea.sh

My proposal would be to change the PS command to: ps x --no-heading -o comm -o cmd --sort=comm

Then use regular expressions for the programs, e.g.:

idea.sh.*intellij-idea-ultimate.*

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the Linux IntelliJ process-detection entry point and inspecting how the current ps output is parsed and matched. Compare it with the proposed command and regex approach; done means snap-installed IntelliJ Ultimate and Community entries are detected distinctly.
