Sysfex
Another neofetch-like system information fetching tool for linux-based systems written in C++
Installation
Using the provided installer script:
git clone https://github.com/mehedirm6244/sysfex
cd sysfex
./installer.sh
The installer script uses g++ for compiling sysfex and sudo for elevated permissions. If you don't have g++ installed already, install it before running the script. You may see a warning or two, ignore them.
Uninstallation
Run ./installer.sh again. The script will first remove the existing Sysfex installation and then ask whether to reinstall this or not. Just say no
Or if you want to remove Sysfex manually:
sudo rm /usr/bin/sysfex
sudo rm -rf /opt/sysfex
# Remove local configuration
rm -rf ~/.config/sysfex
