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.

    There’s a million alternatives that do the exact same thing. Fastfetch is just better, since it’s still maintained, and not painfully slow. I used to think neofetch being slow was kind of cute. Then I switched to fastfetch, and now I can’t bear the years neofetch takes to run.

      It takes half a second. Would it help if it played a family guy or gtav clip for you while you wait?

        It takes much longer than half a second on older hardware.

        It’s a bash script, whereas fastfetch is written in C (I think). The speed increase is absolutely beneficial. Fastfetch finishes near instantly on my old Toshiba Satellite.
