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.
Fastfetch vs Neofetch
> Me, a fake Arch user who never installed both of them
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.
How does it work, one requests the devs to take over the project or clones it?
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, :)
Screen is the terminal though?
No, screen is a terminal multiplexer, like tmux. The terminal emulator I use is alacritty.

Yeah one of the Asahi guys was also confused about why people still use neofetch: https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111018734178152229
