From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Armbian Style MOTD for x86 (cdn.tcb13.com)

Hello,

I've been using Armbian on a bunch of ARM SCBs and they have a very nice MOTD on SSH login that shows CPU, RAM, Storage and networking infromation.

Is there anything similar for a regular x86 machine? I tried to grab the scripts from a NanoPi M4v2 board but had to change a ton of stuff to get it working on x86 and it isn't portable as AMD and Intel report temps differently. Or... does anyone know if their x86 version has it working and where to get?

Just for reference I'm talking about this: https://cdn.tcb13.com/2023/armbian-motd.jpg

Thank you.

Why not write your own version? Getting the temperatures is easy and portable with the sensors command from lm-sensors. The rest of the info is easy to get using various commands (e.g. uptime, free) combined with a bit of sed/grep/awk for formatting.
