Thank you very much.
|
||
|
|
My name is JWP and I'm here to talk to you about NeoFetch 1.5.
|
||
|
|
So, I was reading my Linux Voice magazine that I wanted ArcCamp
|
||
|
|
and that Ken Fallon didn't win because he didn't go to ArcCamp.
|
||
|
|
And they came across this thing and I had been configuring KDE Neon for quite some time.
|
||
|
|
And this NeoFetch, it sort of does everything for all of your system information.
|
||
|
|
So, I'm sort of having to go into the proc and do the greater thing and make the file and then read the file.
|
||
|
|
You can use NeoFetch 1.5 and it'll go and get your system information
|
||
|
|
and it does a bunch of stuff with, it says, OS, you have your kernel, your uptime packages
|
||
|
|
that you may have, what your shell is, the resolution of your screen, what desktop you have,
|
||
|
|
what the window manager is, the theme, and most importantly, which icons you're using.
|
||
|
|
And for me, it was really important to know the GPU and CPU that I was having
|
||
|
|
because I was doing AMD and of course, the 16.04 Ubuntu doesn't have, you know,
|
||
|
|
you can't use the proprietary drivers from AMD.
|
||
|
|
So, you have to sort of figure out all that stuff on your own with that.
|
||
|
|
And then there was a proprietary Wi-Fi driver that you had to install and all of that stuff is just right there in the NeoFetch 1.5.
|
||
|
|
So, it's pretty easy, you just go and you know, apt-get and NeoFetch, that's NeoFET CH1.5.
|
||
|
|
And then you do, and then you do it.
|
||
|
|
And while I didn't think that it replaced top completely, it was pretty, pretty good
|
||
|
|
in the sense that it colourful, a little more colourful than top probably, and just as easy to use.
|
||
|
|
Okay, well hey, that pretty much does it for this episode. Sorry, it's such a short one,
|
||
|
|
but I just wanted to tell you about that NeoFetch 1.5 and that you can't get it with KDE Neon.
|
||
|
|
And I'm going to do a much longer show about KDE Neon later.
|
||
|
|
All right, hey, thank you very much, JWP, available at JWP5 at hotmail.com.
|
||
|
|
Thank you very much. Bye now.
