Question for the Linux nerds: What pre-installed CLI program would you run to view info about your system - e.g. OS version, kernel version, Processor, memory, display
Assume neofetch is not installed.
Is there something better than uname?
Include your distro in your response.
@awoodsnet I am interested to see the results. #neofetch is something I always install. And I always cringe at the number of dependencies it brings. The smaller the distro or container, the worse it feels.
@tomaskarban what i want to do is create a set of “about” functions to report system info - to report the kind of info one gets from going to the Apple menu and choosing “About My Mac” or that neofetch would provide. The catch is to have zero dependencies - so i gotta run what’s already installed . So about_debian(), about_ubuntu(), about_redhat() and the ultimate fallback about_linux() which I think can be better than just calling uname
