It's Foss

omg! ubuntu!

Neofetch, the beloved tool for displaying system information in ASCII format in the terminal, has sadly come to an end. The GitHub project has been archived by its lead developer, along with all their other repositories. However, Linux users need not despair, as there are several alternative fetch tools available to fulfill their system stat needs.
One popular alternative is Fastfetch, a faster and actively developed tool that provides similar functionality to Neofetch. Other options include screenFetch, macchina, NerdFetch, Archey, HyFetch, and cpufetch.
While it’s disheartening to see Neofetch go, the vibrant Linux community continues to innovate and ensure that users have access to powerful and visually appealing system information tools. So, if you’re in need of a new fetch tool for your Linux system, explore these alternatives and find the one that best suits your needs.

Neofetch Development Ends: What Are the Alternatives?

That’s very unfortunate :( Good to know there are forks still available though. I see that the last commit on the repo was already 3 years ago, so unless it breaks something using the original neofetch should be fine?

This is the least modified fork I’ve found so far (<a href="https://github.com/LorenDB/neofetch" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://github.com/LorenDB/neofetch</a>)

My favorite is pfetch - <a href="https://github.com/dylanaraps/pfetch" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">dylanaraps/pfetch</a>

neofetch has had the last update over 3 years ago and yall really realised only now… no need for alternative
