Conky or Terminal Splash Screen

I use two methods to automatically display nVidia GPU and Intel iGPU information:


Conky real time display

This example uses Conky to display current GPU (nVidia or Intel) stats in real time. Conky is a light weight system monitor popular among many Linux enthusiasts.

The display changes depending on if you booted after prime-select intel or prime-select nvidia.

Conky Code

Here is the relevant Conky script for Intel iGPU and nVidia GPU:

### `~/.bashrc` Terminal splash screen

This example modifies `~/.bashrc` to display information on a splash screen each time the terminal is opened or whenever you type `. .bashrc` at the shell prompt.

In addition to `neofetch` answered previously, there is `screenfetch` which looks a lot nicer (IMO). Plus another answer mentions he doesn't know how to get iGPU listed and this does it:

For details on setup see: [Terminal splash screen with Weather, Calendar, Time & Sysinfo?][4]

In summary just for the bottom section with Ubuntu display containing GPU information (second last line) use:

sudo apt install screenfetch screenfetch ```

Youโ€™ll want to put the screenfetch command an the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file to have it appear every time you open the terminal.
