+CPU-X an Alternative to CPU-Z for Linux
+======
+The tech-savvy Windows users might have used CPU-Z. It is an excellent utility for gathering comprehensive system information that is not available through stock applications in Windows.
+
+**CPU-Z is not available on Linux.**
+
+Don’t get disheartened! There are multiple ways and tools you can use to get detailed hardware information in Linux.
+
+In fact, if you want something similar to CPU-Z on Linux, you are in luck. A developer called [X0rg][1] on GitHub has created a CPU-Z clone called CPU-X for Linux.
+
+The interface might not be an exact replica bit you will find it familiar.

+
+### CPU-X: A GUI to know CPU, Motherboard and other hardware details
+
+CPU-X is a system profiling (Information) and monitoring application (Resource usage). It can detect the Processor (CPU), Memory (RAM), Chipset (Motherboard).
+
+CPU-X is a free and open source software designed for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. It is available in [GUI, TUI and CLI][3] formats.
+
+By default, CPU-X in the graphical mode uses GTK3 ([GTK4 port][4] will not happen as per Developer).
+
+It can provide comprehensive information about the hardware which is accessible without examining the components physically which is not possible all the time. For example, CPU-X can provide information about the RAM modules installed as shown below.
+
+![CPU-X showing information about RAM][5]
+
+### Features of CPU-X
+
+The name of this application can be misleading as this application can provide information about many aspects of the computer and is not limited to the CPU only.
+
+Here is a list of things CPU-X can provide information about.
+
+* Processor
+* Motherboard
+* Memory
+* System
+* Graphic card
+* Performance
+
+If you run CPU-X for the first time, you will be greeted with something like the screenshot below.
+
+![CPU-X running without Daemon][6]
+
+No one can ignore the button **Start Daemon** at the bottom left corner of the window.
+
+If you start the daemon, it will allow CPU-X to access special devices, providing more information and avoiding empty labels (Package, Multiplier, Bus speed as shown in the screenshot).
+
+The **CPU-X daemon requires root privileges**, and it uses Polkit for privileges escalation. If you are using a Desktop Environment, entering the password as prompted will start the daemon and will not need further input from the user.
+
+Note that the memory information is available only when Daemon is active.
+
+#### CPU-X in the terminal
+
+You can also use CPU-X from the command line, as there are two options available for using CPU-X in the terminal, i.e., NCurses and Coredump.
+
+Firstly, to access the NCurses interface use the following command.
+
+```
+cpu-x -N
+```
+
+The interface will be similar to the default (GTK3) but with Ncurses type interface as shown in the screenshot below. You can navigate using arrow keys here.
+
+![CPU-X NCurses running on GNOME Terminal][7]
+
+Secondly, to get a summary of data, enter the following command.
+
+```
+cpu-x -D
+```
+
+This command gives the user a dump of all the system information provided by CPU-X. It is a very long output so you have to scroll through it to get the required information as shown below.

+
+### Installing CPU-X on Linux
+
+You can just grab the [latest AppImage from the GitHub release page][9] of CPU-X.
+
+Native packages for CPU-X are also available for almost all distributions in their official repositories. Here are the commands to get them installed.
+
+For Debian 11 or later and Ubuntu 20.04 or later.
+
+```
+sudo apt install cpu-x
+```
+
+For Fedora 30 or later.
+
+```
+sudo dnf install cpu-x
+```
+
+For FreeBSD 11 or later.
+
+```
+sudo pkg install cpu-x
+```
+
+For OpenSUSE Leap 15.2 or later.
+
+```
+sudo zypper install cpu-x
+```
+
+For Solus any version.
+
+```
+sudo eopkg install cpu-x
+```
+
+For Arch Linux as the package is available in the AUR only.
+
+```
+yay -Syu cpu-x
+```
+
+You can check out CPU-X source code on [GitHub][10]. Head to its official site to know more about it.

+
+### Conclusion
+
+When you switch to Linux, it is only natural to look for the applications you used in Windows.
+
+Where is Ccleaner in Linux? Where is the task manager?
+
+Sometimes the software is available in Linux and sometimes they are not. In the latter case, you often have to opt for an alternative.
+
+And that’s the thing. There are often alternatives available for the Linux desktop.
+
+The CPU-Z alternative CPU-X is such an example. It gives you the CPU and other hardware information in a familiar way to CPU-Z users.[][12]
+
+I know that there are many other tools such as [inxi][13] and [hardinfo][14] that could be used for a similar purpose. **Do you like CPU-X or do you use prefer some other tool? Leave a comment below.**
