Neofetch was just archived and discontinued as a project on github. The lead open source developer has chosen to stop contributing to the project and has officially archived it as a project.

What have you been using instead? (post below)

@cybernit3 Месяц назад

I started using FastFetch; it is faster since it is written in C not bash script. I guess that might be one reason neofetch is redundant and he closed the project. Ya, quite neofetch is quite a good example of elite bash scripting, much respect.

FastFetch

fastfetch

@tjn6278 Месяц назад

wrote my own a while back called it microfetch. tested it on ubuntu, zorin, mint, deb, ect. never published it. it really is too much hassle to make it work on multiple systems... especially for a noob like me. probably will go with screenfetch so i dont have to add a repo to half the different systems i want to mess with...

Neofetch is dead. Neofetch remains dead. And we have killed it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the ricers of all ricers?

and I just learned about neofetch last week! getting fastfetch seems simple enough though, and as someone slowly learning how to use terminal in my 2 min of free time every week, it could be good practice.

ScreenFetch is OK as a replacement. It's funny how much drama-noise this is doing. That's not a real issue. It's nothing like systemd-init war. Move on to an important topic, people.

@commanderdestructa4654 Месяц назад

Try using screenfetch, it's essentially the same as neofetch.

@hanqnero Месяц назад

From my experience, output of screenfetch is almost the same, but there is one thing a hate about it. It is that it does not properly wrap long lines. If you have laptop, GPU and APU names get wrapped to new line ruining the logo.

What usually happens; someone forks it and maintains it; occasionally making it better.

@matthewstott3493 Месяц назад

Umm... Neofetch is an 11,592 line bash script. It's very easy to read the source. Download it and maintain it yourself.

@freedomgoddess Месяц назад

lmao

@DCM777. Месяц назад

Indeed.

@SXZ-dev Месяц назад

nah, just do it in a language that makes sense lol, some kind of scripting language would be fine for that kind of little tool, python maybe

@noname-ll2vk Месяц назад

That would just compound the error of trying to do complex logic with bash. You'd have to rewrite it into a more powerful language. Nobody is going to do that. If you follow this basic rule you avoid years of pain: once a shell script threatens to get longer than 100 lines rewrite it to a real language. Saves huge work in future. My own rule now is 50 lines. But really the moment you start using functions and complex data structures switch to a real language and move on.

@earincopper9975 Месяц назад

@@noname-ll2vk That's a thing, though: there's no really complex logic in there. It's almost entirely "grab some text from a place, tweak it a little, print it", for each category. It's very readable, and it's easy to see how things are obtained if you're okay at bash. Also, 6000 of those lines are the distro ASCII art.
