Fastfetch is a Neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying it prettily. It is written mainly in C, with performance and customizability in mind.
brew install fastfetch
Why Fastfetch?
From the README:
- Fastfetch is actively maintained.
- Fastfetch is faster. As the name suggests.
- Fastfetch has a greater number of features, though by default fastfetch only has a few modules enabled; use
fastfetch -c all
to find what you want.- Fastfetch is more configurable. You can find more information in the Wiki: https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration.
- Fastfetch is more polished. For example, neofetch prints
555 MiB
in the Memory module and23 G
in the Disk module, whereas fastfetch prints555.00 MiB
and22.97 GiB
respectively.- Fastfetch is more accurate. For example, neofetch never actually supports the Wayland protocol.
