nasal congestion intensifies

It would need to keep up with future changes and any security updates

according to the Asahi guy, it doesn't work correctly for ARM: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229

I am utterly oblivious to how neofetch works, but it does seem to need updates to support newer tech.

It still had issues like handling 8-bit colors in ascii art incorrectly last I checked a few years back, with that pr already being a few years old then.

On first sight yes, in reality: no.

That's so fetch!

Does it not have a Fedora package or is it just not listed on the GitHub page?

It's a command that pulls a whole bunch of useful system information and sticks it on one page.

Really, the biggest use of it is for showing other people your system- especially showing off. It's a staple of "look at my system" brag posts.

But to be generous, there are (small) legit use cases for it. If you manage a lot of machines, and you plausibly don't know the basic system information for whatever you happen to be working on in this instant, it's a program that will give you most of what you could want to know in a single command. Yes, 100% of the information could be retrieved just as easily using other standard commands, but having it in a single short command, outputting to a single overview page, formatted to be easily readable at a glance, is no bad thing.

@unterzicht that IS it's use. It is primarily used in show-off posts where people present their systems so that people in the replies can get a quick glance on what they're running.

The reason this is big news is because neofetch was by far the biggest project of it's kind

I install it on servers and put it in my bash profile so it runs when I SSH in or open a new terminal tab. Mostly just as a safety thing. It’s basically a reminder to double check I’m on the correct machine/tab before I run any commands.

We will continue as usual. I use Arch BTW. 🤣

Is there a neoneofetch?
