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:
  • neofetch – Neofetch is more widely known and offers extensive image-based screenshot customization, while Archey4 is lighter and focuses on text-based output.
  • screenfetch – Screenfetch is an older Bash script; Archey4 offers a more modern Python implementation with better configuration handling.
