My handy linux scripts

I wrote them to make it easier for me to update my linux (zorin OS) machine from the terminal.

Scripts:

• showhardware.sh: Displays detailed hardware information, including:
  • System information
  • Hardware details (bus info)
  • BIOS and system enclosure information
  • CPU information
  • Memory usage
• checkforupdates.sh: Updates the system by:
  • Running apt update and apt upgrade to update and upgrade packages
  • Cleaning up unused packages with apt autoclean and apt autoremove
  • Refreshing Snap packages (if Snap is installed)
  • Upgrading Flatpak packages (if Flatpak is installed)

Setup:

1. Extract files from the zip file.
2. Open a terminal.
3. Create a directory for the scripts:

   mkdir -p ~/scripts

4. Move the extracted files into ~/scripts:

   mv /path/to/extracted/files/* ~/scripts

5. Make the scripts executable:

   chmod og+x ~/scripts/*.sh

6. Add the scripts directory to your PATH:

   echo 'export PATH=~/scripts:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile

7. Reload your shell configuration:

   source ~/.bash_profile
