OS Info Script

This Go script provides a colorful and organized overview of your Linux system information. It displays details about your operating system, hardware, and network, and includes an optional feature to check for system updates.

Features

• System Information: Displays your username, Linux distribution, hostname, kernel version, and IP address.
• Usage Statistics: Shows current memory and disk usage percentages and values.
• Update Checker: Includes an optional command-line flag to check for pending updates on Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu).
• Colorful Output: Uses colors and emojis to present the information in a user-friendly and readable format.

Dependencies

This script uses the following Go libraries:

• github.com/shirou/gopsutil: To gather system information like memory, disk, and host details.
• github.com/fatih/color: To add color to the terminal output.

Installation

1. Install Go: Make sure you have Go installed on your system.
2. Install Dependencies: Run the following commands to install the necessary libraries:

   go get github.com/shirou/gopsutil/v3/host
   go get github.com/shirou/gopsutil/v3/mem
   go get github.com/shirou/gopsutil/v3/disk
   go get github.com/shirou/gopsutil/v3/net

Usage

You can run the script in two ways:

1. Without Update Check: To display the system information without checking for updates, run:
