Find out what computer you have with Inxi on Ubuntu

inxi

Surely one of the things that many novice users who come from Windows miss is the screen with the computer information, something that allows us see at a glance the specifications of our equipment and what things the operating system recognizes.

This is easy to know thanks to the commands that Gnu / Linux has and that we can use in Ubuntu, although we can only know partial information. But there is only one that reports almost all team information. This command is called inxi.

Inxi will let us know if our equipment is 64-bit or not

Inxi is a command that we find in the latest version of Ubuntu and that shows us all the specifications of the equipment, from the processor socket to the operating system kernel that we are using through the open processors that the operating system is executing. We go almost everything.

In Ubuntu 16.04 we can run it directly, we just have to write in the terminal the word inxi and press enter. But in other versions, the command is not available, we have to install it. To do this we open a terminal and write:

sudo apt-get install inxi

Once finished, we have the inxi command ready to go. The good thing about this command is that by means of parameters we can expand its functions or shelve the information we need. Thus writing:

  • inxi -t cm : we will know the information of the resources consumed.
  • inxi -v 7 : we get all the information from the computer.
  • inxi -l : shows us the information of the partitions.
  • inxi -G : shows us the information of the graphics card.
  • inxi -C : informs us of all the processor information.

There are more parameters and functions that we can know thanks to the man command. Even so with these elements and with the simple command, we will be able to know all the information of our equipment in a comprehensive and fast way, without the need for our equipment to hang as it happens in other operating systems.
