What have you been using instead? (post below)

I started using FastFetch; it is faster since it is written in C not bash script. I guess that might be one reason neofetch is redundant and he closed the project. Ya, quite neofetch is quite a good example of elite bash scripting, much respect.

wrote my own a while back called it microfetch. tested it on ubuntu, zorin, mint, deb, ect. never published it. it really is too much hassle to make it work on multiple systems... especially for a noob like me. probably will go with screenfetch so i dont have to add a repo to half the different systems i want to mess with...

That would just compound the error of trying to do complex logic with bash. You'd have to rewrite it into a more powerful language. Nobody is going to do that. If you follow this basic rule you avoid years of pain: once a shell script threatens to get longer than 100 lines rewrite it to a real language. Saves huge work in future. My own rule now is 50 lines. But really the moment you start using functions and complex data structures switch to a real language and move on.

Thx Dylan. You will be missed.

Try using screenfetch, it's essentially the same as neofetch.

It's still available, and stable. Hasn't really gone anywhere.

Looking at his list of projects makes me wonder if fff either was inspired by or inspired nnn which is apparently the most starred terminal file manager.

and I just learned about neofetch last week! getting fastfetch seems simple enough though, and as someone slowly learning how to use terminal in my 2 min of free time every week, it could be good practice.

I use fast fetch since it's actually maintained.

I'm on my 3rd week on Linux (Mint) and it already feels like I'm gonna miss this. Hope the alternatives will work for me. I didn't know you could customize it so much, I'm gonna have a blast with that, lmao

Now i use fastfetch with an alias called neofetch in Arch, neofetch will always remain the GOAT in our hearts!

I have already CPU-X installed which is a graphical alternative and will be trying screenfetch today.

​@@noname-ll2vk After reading your comment, I checked the github page and found that no new features will be added, only bugs will be fixed. Not ideal, but will do for me as long as it is bug free and secure. I checked the last release was 14 days ago.

ScreenFetch is OK as a replacement. It's funny how much drama-noise this is doing. That's not a real issue. It's nothing like systemd-init war. Move on to an important topic, people.

I personally will continue to use Neofetch. Works well, while distros I test still have their image entries and there are no new package formats, there will be no issue. (Unless somebody finds a CVE in neofetch lol).

My favorite was sysinfo, which went away perhaps nine years ago. Neofetch still works on Kubuntu and Debian for me.

5:35 beware flashbang

Maybe you do it for clarity or something else, but CTRL+L clears the screen if you didn't know.

just use hyfetch, fastfetch or one of the other many fetching tools

bro why you don't want compiling fastfetch?

This will get picked up by someone guaranteed. Maybe we'll even get some forks and have even better versions.

Just use hyfetch, the most based of all the neofetch alternatives

find it kind of strange people feel the need to switch at all, considering neofetch already haven't been updated in years

What usually happens; someone forks it and maintains it; occasionally making it better.

Fastfetch is better anyway, though you have to acknowledge that it wouldn't exist without neofetch.

There will be hundreds of neofetch forks

All hail Dylan!

Awesome tools... Congrats on the next move🛫

Like they said in the video, there may be changes in packages, system variables, library versions, etc. So nothing too complicated to maintain yourself if you want to, but without any maintaining it may break some things throughout the years. Nothing serious, but not 100% problems free

I can easily Ubuntu will properly add fastfetch to their repositories since a lot of people will make their voice known to them. I also imagine that some of the Ubuntu people use neofetch so will want it for themselves.

Why do you put so many breaks in between your words?

Use fastfetch

Honest question, why are people uninstalling it? It's just a bash script, it doesn't need to be actively maintained and unless someone finds a critical CVE in bash itself neofetch isn't going to lead russian hackers to root status on your machine. There's a ton of critical stuff you're running which isn't actively maintained and nobody bats an eye, but NEOFETCH? OMG rush to uninstall IMMEDIATELY

I don't get it. It's a nice thing for these video's, but it adds nothing. It doesn't give any information you can't easily get in another way. Never used Neofetch.
