About:
Inxi is a comprehensive command-line utility that gathers and displays detailed hardware and software information from a Linux system. It provides a full feature set for system diagnostics, including CPU, GPU, kernel, uptime, and package counts. The tool is highly configurable and can output data in multiple formats for easy parsing or human-readable reports.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive hardware and software detection
  • Multiple output formats (bare, console, full, json)
  • Extensive configuration options
  • Colorized output for better readability
  • Scripting and API friendly
Use Cases:
  • Gathering system specs for technical support requests
  • Auditing hardware configurations across multiple machines
  • Quickly checking kernel versions and driver status
Alternatives:
  • neofetch – neofetch is focused on displaying system information with a highly customizable ASCII logo, whereas inxi provides more detailed, raw data and is better suited for technical reporting.
  • lshw – lshw provides deep hardware extraction but with less user-friendly formatting; inxi aggregates this data into a more readable and scriptable summary.
