You can get all info you see in the 'Settings → About' Dialogbox in terminal. For example if you want to know your Ubuntu version you can use the following command: lsb_release -a For identifying your wireless network cards: lspci -nn | grep Network For identifying your ethernet cards: lspci -nn | grep Ethernet For identifying your drives: blkid lsblk df -h fdisk -l For showing file/directory information: stat <filename/directory> file <filename/directory> For identifying which services are currently running: service --status-all systemctl --state running --type service For seeing what happens when you connect a USB device (you have 30 seconds after typing this command to connect your device): timeout --signal=KILL 30s journalctl --follow And this is just to name a few, there are more but that depends on what info you want to give. All text can be copied from terminal by <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> and pasted on AskUbuntu with simple <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd>.
