As a follow-up to my previous post regarding obtaining system information via dmidecode, here is a small bash script for a quick motherboard summary using string keywords. This will display a short summary of your motherboard.

dmidecode is a userspace command-line utility for Linux that can parse the SMBIOS data of your computer. This utility is handy to display system information without having to reboot into the UEFI/BIOS. Details are in 'man dmidecode' for the various options; I prefer the "--t, --type TYPE" option as it also uses human readable TYPE keywords to groups and drill into the specific information needed. The inxi utility usues dmidecode (and many other utilities) and some nice formatting to deliver comprehensive system information.
