$ archey
try on your machine

The archey command is a command-line utility used to display system information and ASCII art of the logo for your Linux distribution or Unix-like operating system.

When you run the archey command in your terminal, it gathers various system information such as the operating system name and version, the system's architecture (32-bit or 64-bit), CPU model and speed, total and available memory, disk usage, and the current user. It then presents this information in a formatted manner.

The output of the archey command typically includes a logo or ASCII art representing the distribution you are using, making it a fun and visually appealing way to check system information. It is often used for personalizing your terminal's appearance or for sharing system details with others.

Please note that archey may not be pre-installed on your system, so you might need to install it using your distribution's package manager before being able to use it.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
