About:
Archey4 is a lightweight Python-based CLI tool that displays essential system information alongside a stylized Arch Linux logo. It provides detailed hardware and software metrics such as OS version, kernel release, uptime, CPU, memory usage, and local IP addresses in a clean, readable format.

Key Features:

Displays comprehensive system information (OS, Kernel, CPU, RAM, Disk)
Auto-detects distribution and displays relevant ASCII logo
Highly configurable via JSON or command-line arguments
Supports external IP detection and network interface listing

Use Cases:

Quickly checking system specs on headless servers
Customizing terminal startup scripts for a personalized look
Gathering hardware details for debugging or documentation

Alternatives:
