Inspector For Linux

Finding out more information about one's Linux system is not a very complicated task. Usually, it involves having to use various commands.

But, since I want my information to be served to me in a fashionable manner, I was looking for an app that can do that until I found Inspector.

The beauty of Inspector, a free and open-source app, is that it does all of that (the running of commands part) for you. In short, Inspector is a very straightforward tiny application that provides a plethora of information and details about any Linux system.

The first, and most obvious advantage of Inspector is that it provides a staggering amount of information about your system.

Actually, what this app does is it automatically runs a series of nifty commands (that are already pre-installed on your system) and displays the information in seven sections/tabs as follows: USB, Disk, Memory, PCI, Network, CPU, and System.

These commands include lsusb, lsblk, lsmem, lspci, ip address, lshw-c cpu, and uname (the popular command that displays the system name, kernel name, network hostname, etc.),

I really love the app's clean look, even though, I understand if others think it's way too minimalist and it could do with some more features. The fact that its built using GTK4 and Libadwaita is also a plus for me, since I'm a GNOME user (the app works on other Linux distros as well).

The simple answer is - everybody. If you, like me, are sometimes bored of commands and want your information printed in a proper GUI and not in the Terminal, then you'll absolutely love this app.

The whole point of Inspector is to offer you as much information about a system as possible. That's not to be confused with a system monitor, for instance, an app that's designed to offer you real-time information on how your system uses resources.
