Stormfetch is a terminal utility that displays information about a Linux computer beside distribution-specific ASCII artwork. It provides the familiar combination of operating system identification and basic hardware details without requiring a graphical application.
The program reports enough information to distinguish machines with different hardware and software environments. A typical display includes the distribution, kernel, processor, memory and desktop session.
Additional information about the host, storage, networking and connected displays makes the output useful for a quick inspection of the system. This gives Stormfetch a broader range of reported facts than fetchers that display only a handful of fields.
The layout is designed for readability. Character-based artwork identifies the distribution, while the system details appear as labelled text. It is suitable for terminal screenshots, remote shell sessions and occasions when users want to confirm the configuration of a Linux installation.
This is free and open source software.
