AreYouUsingArchLinux

AreYouUsingArchLinux is a simple Rust-based tool that determines whether your system is running Arch Linux. It performs checks to identify if the operating system is Arch Linux and provides a visual confirmation with ASCII art and colored terminal output.

Features

OS Detection: Checks if the system is Arch Linux by examining both the /etc/os-release file and the presence of the pacman package manager.
Visual Feedback: Displays a custom ASCII logo and colored terminal messages to make the output more engaging.

How It Works

System Information Retrieval: Utilizes the sysinfo crate to gather system information.
Arch Linux Detection:
- OS Release File: Reads and parses the /etc/os-release file to check for Arch Linux indicators (ID=arch or ID_LIKE=arch).
- Pacman Presence: Checks for the pacman package manager to further verify Arch Linux.
Output: Prints a colored ASCII logo and a message indicating whether the system is Arch Linux or not.

Installation

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/AreYouUsingArchLinux.git

Navigate to the Project Directory:
```
cd AreYouUsingArchLinux
```
Build and Run: Ensure you have Rust installed. Then run:
```
cargo run
```

Code Overview

Key Functions

main: Initializes the system object, checks if the OS is Arch Linux, and prints the result with colored output.
is_arch_linux: Combines results from check_os_release and check_pacman to determine if the system is Arch Linux.
check_os_release: Reads and parses /etc/os-release to identify Arch Linux indicators.
check_pacman: Checks if pacman is installed and accessible.

Example Output

Arch Linux Detected:

Are You Using Arch Linux?
[ASCII Logo]
Congratulations, you are running Arch Linux!

Not Arch Linux:

Are You Using Arch Linux?
[ASCII Logo]
No, you are not using Arch Linux!

Notes

The detection method relies on both the presence of Arch-specific identifiers in /etc/os-release and the pacman package manager. However, it’s still possible to trick the detection by modifying these files or altering system configurations.
