Please make at least an attempt to check your inxi version before posting an
issue report. Then run: inxi -h. Then you will see what your inxi version
supports. Obviously old versions do not support features from old versions,
that's what the -U update option is for, to update inxi to current version.
After you update that ancient inxi (inxi is now at 2.1.27) you will find -w is
magically there.
I think -w was introduced in 1.9, I don't remember.
I like -w too, it's fun, particularly useful for remote systems I find.

By the way, if your distro refuses to actually update inxi, file an issue
report with them, there is NOTHING good about using old inxi's, and new inxi's
will never break any compatibility so there is no reason for packagers to not
update them always to current, unlike a lot of other software, that has a lot
of dependencies and needs everything to be a certain version to run, inxi just
needs the basic tools to exist.

"Obviously old versions do not support features from old versions,"
ooops, I meant, of course: Obviously old versions do not support features from
newer versions

Thank you VERY Much. You are absolutely correct! This was my mistake. I was
running Linux Mint from a Live CD on another system. So I just now typed "sudo
inxi -u" and the inxi -w is there, as you stated it would be. Thank you again
for this super useful tool, with all of its features.
