 |
|
We have app-misc/neofetch in ::gentoo. Neofetch has not been updated for over 1 year and has huge performance problems.
Fastfetch https://github.com/LinusDierheimer/fastfetch is actively developed and does not have neofetch's performance issues.

So why was it no added?
It doesn't seem like it was rejected from those comments.

I don't exactly understand the purpose of neofetch.
I mean, sure, it shows system info, but you can write a script yourself to do the exact same thing
The only thing neofetch does is tell people what distro you're using with fancy ascii art. |

That's the purpose why neofetch and any other *fetches exist.
A sysadmin will know other ways of displaying the required system information without having to use these programs, but usually they come with sane presets and for some users they're "ease of use".
That's what I've gathered. |

Haven't compared them, but I like fastfetch more.

I put it in .bashrc to have it run every time I open the terminal.

stefan11111,
I used to briefly do that too years ago but I realized there was no benefit to it.
When handling multiple terminals with varying sizes, it only adds to the clutter.
In my opinion a more sane approach would be to use .bash_profile. |
