Is FastFetch not? I have used it for quite some time now and afaik it is being updated.

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, :)

It definitely seems abandoned. Here’s an issue in the GH repo asking the same question https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/2453

There are 1.5k forks, seems like somebody could carry the torch forward if they were interested. Could be a good way to build experience and reputation.

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
