Synopsis
inxi [OPTION]... [--help]Description
inxi is a system information tool that gathers and displays detailed hardware and software information about your Linux system. It queries various system files and outputs formatted data about CPU, motherboard, memory, disk drives, graphics, network interfaces, and more in a single command.
Unlike basic tools like lsb_release or uname, inxi provides comprehensive details in an easy-to-read format suitable for troubleshooting, documenting your system, or sharing hardware specs. It works across different Linux distributions and requires no root privileges for most information.
