It is written in Rust Lang all within a TUI. No web browser is required. In addition to speed tests, it has interactive, real time charts and statistics. It also stores a history of your results, allowing you to view and manage past tests. Further, you can export and save results as JSON, and it supports scripting via a headless mode if that is what your heart desires. Give it a try.

Here is a small tip: You can check for Wayland or Xorg (X11) Linux or Unix desktops using the CLI. You can use these commands to check if a user is running X11 (Xorg) or Wayland on Linux, and then take a specific action such as installing a package (such as Kinto that only works on X11) or aborting the installation. All you have to do is type:
“`
echo “$XDG_SESSION_TYPE”
env | grep -E -i ‘x11|xorg|wayland’
“`
