fastfetch shows me a pretty different amount of installed apps in comparison to neofetch, not sure which one is correct now: neo: Packages: 2379 (dpkg), 63 (flatpak), 24 (snap) fast: Packages: 2283 (dpkg), 60 (flatpak), 23 (snap) I really love the local IP addition in fastfetch though! instead of having to wade through the "ip a" output
I switched to fastfetch like a year ago cause I just wanted something that doesn't take 5s to run every time I open my terminal. And having some of the info there is actually really useful. Having my CPU usage, RAM Usage, Disk Usage, IP adresses etc. just all there is actually really nice.
Glad you recommended fastfetch. I remember finding out about fastfetch first time when I did something with my old Raspberry Pi 2 and figured how slow neofetch actually is. It too is much faster on my old 32bit ThinkPad X60, which is great. Thanks for the reminder to switch, for some reason I went with neofetch on my main desktop and main ThinkPad. Side note, to ssh into a Windows machine and seeing winfetch is hilarious.
Why does it matter anyway? It just prints to the screen. Doesn't use the network, doesn't do anything special... no need for it to be patched every day
@@zerodev_exe I don't know, I haven't gotten the chance to upload. See, I cannot upload videos at my mom's house, even though that is where I am 70% of the time. Also, even at my dad's, it is hard to find time. I also need more ideas.
I personally use fastfetch. It's like neofetch but written in C++, and pretty fast. I even rice my Windows Terminal with it. You can alias "neofetch" to do fastfetch on your Bash or ZSH rc file, and it behaves similarly.
I wrote a bash script for use in conky that was over 200 lines. All it did was download some weather data, keep said data fresh and assign some calls to retrieve bits from the database to display in conky. It was a fun learning experience.
Garuda use by default fastfetch from almost half of a year, faster and developed in C++. And yes I know that neofetch was not maintained from three years ago, I used to check the repo of neofetch.
I can’t say I’m too shocked. I mean, unless there’s some major bug discovered, the only thing that needs to be done is maybe make a logo for any new mainstream distros.
I saw neofetch on your videos. I downloaded it and ran it couple times. Thought "Well, that's kinda cool" and never ran it again. Just have no use for it.
A few days ago I made one of the pull requests that appear in the video "requirements to add a new distro" and was responded to saying that the project was probably dead, and now I receive this confirmation😂
I don't get it why it matters. Is your CPU changes every time you open the terminal or what happened there? I worked at DC with thousands of linux vms with different configuration and nobody uses 'neofetch' or similar software. At home I also don't see a reason to use it. On my terminal I'd like to have a 'work space', so 1st command probably would be 'clear' after seeing this long long long (no, it's not a new type in C) info.
Regarding what I said yesterday about contributing to neofetch a few years ago: I just realized the maintainer didn't seem to pay much attention to the code I added and just immediately merged it. I probably could not have gotten away with introducing a vulnerability but I could 100% have added something malicious by just leaving out some character like a semicolon, maybe I could have even embedded control characters and actually dealt some damage like rm -rf / --no-preserve-root. Maybe it's for the better that neofetch is defunct now.
The icons may be from the Nerd fonts, and I think the graphical logos are being converted to sixel, an ancient image file format from DEC made for dumping images to terminals
@@no.no.4680 Graphical logos use your terminal emulator's featureset for that. For example Kitty and iTerm on MacOS can natively render images but Fastfetch does also support Sixel.
I know this is about Neofetch, but pywal also didn’t get an update since 3 years. This is much more “concerning” since it is an important and actually relevant tool and not just a fancy thing to show off specs.
Yes, I had no idea. Just back on Arch after using mostly Debian for about five years. Before then, I used screenfetch. In just the last three weeks I've been making Hyprland on Wayland look all pretty for myself. And I seriously only just added neofetch to my bashrc a couple of days ago. Piped through lolcat, of course. I did say pretty, didn't I.
I never fetched, but i used to run conky in the background. Conky grabs your system resource state and draws that info on your GUI background. (Think of it as fetch but for GUI?)
Been using a (configured) fastfetch for a while now that i just dropped in my zshrc :) i like having a quick glance at the system status, eg. disk usage, ram usage, uptime, packages installed, etc

Can you do a video of the NixOS drama. I'm on the subreddit so I've been seeing a lot of it, but I'd like to get a complete picture. There's a bunch of maintainers and devs leaving the project, and it's a huge issue.
I'm new to Linux, funnily enough I started using it on April 26th -same day neofetch was abandoned. I don't really get it though. Learned about it when looking for a way to monitor my CPU and RAM usage. That was before I found the actual resource monitor of Linux Mint so I never used neofetch again. Cool ASCII art tho
Not really a neofetch user. I have a Conky script that provides me all the system, weather, date and what music is playing info I need and if want a neofetch-like system summary, I have a script that gives a much more thorough summary of my system than neofetch. Largely it parses a pruned-down selection of dmidecode info for each subsystem and formats the selections readably.
honestly though, it's not like neofetch touches the internet or anything like that and it's not really a crucial component of the operating system so if you think about it, it's kind of fine that it's 'out dated'. worst case scenario it breaks and then someone comes along, forks it and makes the appropriate fix.
Since when is speed a factor for this? neofetch runs just as fast as fastfetch aka instantly on probably any hardware made in the last 20 years. On Arch repos, neofetch is the lightest after screenfetch at around 2-3 hundred KBs while fastfetch and hyfetch are over 2MB.
If something is written entirely in posix shell it's probably so it doesn't have other dependencies. It's meant to gather info, more than just the fact that you don't have python
As someone who moved larger scripts from Bash to python, I would agree. Bash / shell scripts are just terribly unsafe. I don't think maintainability has to be an issue though, shell scripts can be clear and easy to read, especially if it's not just one file.
It's been a bit over a year that I've replaced using neofetch on my machine(s) with piping fastfetch thru cowsay or, when supported by the distro, cowthink with frog buddies (obv with a few sed commands to fix the treatment coway does to line breaks) PS : I don't just use it for aesthetics (altho I mainly do, to be fair) but also when I can't bother using the more "proper" commands to know things like kernel versions or, on other people's machines, number of cpu cores (+ it gives me a bit about resource usage even when I don't think about looking for it and in a sometimes faster way) PS 2 : Yes, I can give the fetch command on my bashrc later today (or tomorrow or whatnot) if people are interested but I kinda can't bother rn, I'm late for stuff

It's been a bit over a year that I've replaced using neofetch on my machine(s) with piping fastfetch thru cowsay or, when supported by the distro, cowthink with frog buddies (obv with a few sed commands to fix the treatment coway does to line breaks)
PS : I don't just use it for aesthetics (altho I mainly do, to be fair) but also when I can't bother using the more "proper" commands to know things like kernel versions or, on other people's machines, number of cpu cores (+ it gives me a bit about resource usage even when I don't think about looking for it and in a sometimes faster way)
PS 2 : Yes, I can give the fetch command on my bashrc later today (or tomorrow or whatnot) if people are interested but I kinda can't bother rn, I'm late for stuff
Neofetch? Nu-huh, Oldfetch
(goodbye neofetch)
Can't wait for neo-neofetch
MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO OF THE YEAR!!!!
