Ive noticed its has been any activity in their github for a longtime. https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch
There are a few more info that could be added nowadays like Display Protocol (Wayland/X11) and Display size. FastFetch does this but Neofetch is globally recognized.
Fastfetch vs Neofetch
i hate always having to find out years later some software i use has been unmantained for years.
there should at least be some sort of notification when this happens baked in to package managers
Yeah one of the Asahi guys was also confused about why people still use neofetch: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229
But neofetch tells you if wayland already:
WM: Wayfire (Wayland)
Actually while neofetch detects pretty well I'm using alacritty:
Terminal: alacritty
Probably they learned
$TERM
is really meaningless if using screen or tmux, but fastfetch totally misses this and mistakenly shows screen as the terminal:Terminal: screen
The only thing I like of fastfetch over neofetch is that it's faster, :) And yes the display missing, but I've never considered that something of much interest for such output... To me neofetch is just fine, and on terminal it gives you a more accurate answer... In the end is a matter of taste... But what it does is well done, :)
No, screen is a terminal multiplexer, like tmux. The terminal emulator I use is alacritty.
Has the fastfetch dev ever mentioned why they use the infinity symbol? Don't want to find out later on that it's a dogwhistle.
