It seems to be running a pretty low-end system:

Prompt: neofetch

ChatGPT:

  OS: Ubuntu 20.20 LTS x86_64 
  Host: 20LMT Lenovo IdeaPad 1xx 
  Kernel: 5.4.0-72-generic 
  Uptime: 1 hour, 26 mins 
  Packages: 1688 (dpkg), 16 (flatpak), 7 (snap) 
  Shell: bash 5.0.17 
  Resolution: 1366x768 
  DE: Gnome 
  WM: Mutter 
  WM Theme: Ambiance 
  Theme: Ambiance [GTK2/3] 
  Icons: ubuntu-mono-dark [GTK2/3] 
  Terminal: gnome-terminal 
  Terminal Font: Monospace 11 
  CPU: Intel Core i5-8265U (8) @ 1.800GHz 
  GPU: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 620 
  Memory: 3669MiB / 7864MiB

In all seriousness though, it seems to struggle with consistency. E.g. I can run cat /etc/release but there is no actual release file when I run ls /etc. Still pretty cool though.

Initially, neofetch was missing too, and I wasn't able to install it through apt because it kept complaining that the package didn't exist. I couldn't install from Github either because it claimed I had no network. But then I told it to {install neofetch for me} and it proceeded to run sudo apt install neofetch...

It also seems to have a limited memory because after a while it starts writing explanations again (even though I told explicitly not to write them in the prompt).

Other things I tried:

- cat ~/.bash_history actually gave the correct output

- cat /proc/cpuinfo matches the info given by neofetch.

- free -m matches the info given by neofetch.

- pacman -Syu doesn't work (as expected because it's a Ubuntu system)

- I can still run commands after I shutdown the system...



I got a different spec OS: Ubuntu 18.04.5 DMI: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2673 v3 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 16GB Disk: 30GB IP: 192.168.0.101

I dd'd urandom into both partitions but it didn't seem to do any harm.

It understands the meaning of `sudo !!` but gives permission denied when it shouldnt.

Or maybe the it cleaned it up itself to keep its system directories clear of human stuff.
