Windows Command Prompts 'systeminfo' command equivalent on Ubuntu

Question

With Windows' command prompt, I can get a simplified system hardware overview through systeminfo command. On Ubuntu I can get a lot of non GUI commands with lots of info plus verbose details. There are some GUI tools like sysinfo. But I can't find a non-GUI one. So, can I get a simplified non-verbose non-GUI system information summary through terminal on Ubuntu?

Answer 1

Try inxi:

$ inxi
CPU: 6-Core Intel Core i7-8700K (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 800/800/4700 MHz 
Kernel: 5.4.0-52-generic x86_64 Up: 7h 17m Mem: 12886.2/32061.5 MiB (40.2%) 
Storage: 6.37 TiB (35.2% used) Procs: 374 Shell: bash 5.0.17 inxi: 3.0.38

For more verbose output

inxi -F

Both installable via apt.

Answer 2

I'm not using Windows, so I'm not sure what can systeminfo do, but here are few commands based on screenshots I googled.

Basic system information: hostnamectl

$ hostnamectl
   Static hostname: vtrefny-Standard-PC-Q35-ICH9-2009
         Icon name: computer-vm

Other tools:

• lsusb: devices connected to USB
• lspci: PCI devices
• lshw: detailed hardware info
• /proc/cpuinfo (file): detailed CPU information
• lsblk: list of block devices
• df -h: mounted filesystem with size and free space

There is of course more. Not sure if there is a one tool that can print all the information, but the tools I mentioned are installed by default and in Linux/Unix we usually have one tool for one thing (see Unix Philosophy).
