I think that aliases to more "native" commands would be better.
inxi -Dxx --> lsblk --fs (or similar)

Need to find alternates for all existing aliases

It prints too much info based on the running env where we're just interested in the hardware. For instance the sound and graphics sections report stats about X and ALSA that usually don't apply to the customer's system.

Going to write a wrapper script not-inxi to display a warning to the tech when inxi is run. This will alert them that inxi will be removed and advise of the replacement scripts.

Using a wrapper script results in an infinite recursion and won't work. Going to use an alias to have a warning "banner" before running inxi
