From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why would you post a screenshot of a neofetch. Just why
Because the number one question on literally any Linux related tech question is: "What are your specs?" And a neofetch covers big parts of that.
Pretty normal to give basic informations about the system when asking questions about said system.
For sure but taking an image of text just itches me, also neofetch includes unneeded stuff and doesnt include infos about a specific package.
I wrote a script called sysinfo but the plasma 6 version is incomplete
Like I said I am kind of new to linux and this was the way I knew to share some basic info. Btw it was fastfetch
Got a better idea to share basic Info? Please share it with me.
I will try to fix my sysinfo script and will update you when it is ready
Oy could you let me know when the plasma 6 version is done? This seems like a great tool.
Yeah I am in the process of just using
kinfo
and putting additional info (like GPU RAM etc) after and the package search before that.
