Linux System Information

Linux System Information Script

Simple script to quickly output system information on Linux, including:

Linux distribution
Computer Model
Processor (CPU)
CPU sockets/cores/threads
CPU caches
Architecture
Total memory (RAM)
Total swap space
Disk space
*Graphics Processor (GPU)
Hostname (FQDN)
IP address(es)
MAC address(es)
Time zone
Language
*Virtualization container
*Virtual Machine (VM) hypervisor

* If present

RAM, swap and disk space is output in both MiB (1024² bytes) and MB (1000² bytes). Similar to the systeminfo command on Windows.

Requires at least Bash 4+. Compared to similar programs, this script outputs much more information and is smaller. Useful when using an unfamiliar system or VM, particularly before running a program that has specific system requirements. All the values are saved to variables, which makes this easy to incorporate into larger scripts.

For your Public IP addresses, please see Public IP addresses below.

❤️ Please visit tealdulcet.com to support this script and my other software development.

Also see the Linux System Usage Information script.

Usage

Supports all modern Linux distributions from the last 10+ years and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

wget

bash wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Linux-System-Information/master/info.sh | bash -s

curl

bash curl -sL https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Linux-System-Information/master/info.sh | bash -s

Example Output

Ubuntu Desktop

Ubuntu Server

openSUSE Server

Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian)

Google Cloud Platform (Debian)

Scripts where this is incorporated

Other Scripts

Datatype Information

Outputs C/C++ datatype information, including datatype sizes, minimum values, maximum values, etc. for the current system. Requires C++11. Supports both Linux and macOS.

bash wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Linux-System-Information/master/typeinfo.sh | bash -s

Public IP addresses

Outputs your public IP addresses using a couple dozen different services to find the one with the best HTTPS and DNS response times on your network.

bash wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/tdulcet/Linux-System-Information/master/ipinfo.sh | bash -s

Other System Information Scripts

neofetch (Supports multiple operating systems and Linux distributions, lots of command line options, outputs an ASCII version of the logo for a hard coded set of operating systems, but slow to run, displays less information, many of the features require external dependencies, a display and that it is run directly on the system and many of the features are disabled by default)
- Test with this command: bash wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/master/neofetch | bash -s -- -v --no_config
screenFetch (Supports multiple Linux distributions, lots of command line options, outputs an ASCII version of the logo for a hard coded set of distributions, but extremely slow to run and displays less information and many of the features require a display and that it is run directly on the system)
- Test with this command: bash wget -qO - https://raw.github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/master/screenfetch-dev | bash -s -- -v
system-report-card (Only shows total RAM, swap and disk space)
