We can easily check the System information on windows PC by My Computer >> Right Click >> Properties but in linux Pc bit difficult to know all the information, even if we have GUI for that because it will provide very less info about computer, like that way screenfetch came to picture and providing detailed information about computer.
screenFetch is a bash script. It will auto-detect your distribution and display an ASCII art version of that distribution’s logo and some valuable information to the right. Everywhere we can see the ASCII art distribution logos screenshots nowadays. There are options to specify no ASCII art, colors, taking a screenshot upon displaying info, and even customizing the screenshot command.

[Install ScreenFetch on CentOS/RHEL]$ sudo curl -o /usr/local/bin/screenfetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/master/screenfetch-dev && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/screenfetch For Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint $ sudo apt-get install screenfetch For Arch Linux based system $ sudo pacman -S screenfetch
