KInfoCenter provides a central location for viewing information about a KDE Plasma system and its hardware.
The application is modular, with individual information modules integrated into a common interface. The modules are also available through Plasma’s System Settings, while KInfoCenter provides a convenient standalone view.
It covers both a high-level system summary and considerably more detailed information about memory, devices, graphics, networking and power.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
