Don't install neofetch, so many dependencies.

But how would he show that he uses Arch, without Neofetch?

Cat /etc/os-release ?

uname -a ?

Neofetch is unmaintained btw, fastfetch is a good replacement... for whoever needs that. I wrote my own tool for getting system info and I like my terminals to have free space

List of fetch tools

Cool alternatives:

Is it unmaintained completely or just feature complete and not getting recent updates?

I've seen people say "this tool isn't being maintained because there aren't recent check ins" and those two things are very different.

It is written in Bash which I guess makes it pretty high level and stable. Until it breaks it shouldnt need much work.

Bash is damn slow though, so fastfetch (mainly in C) is way better for the "arch flex"

oh no! not unmaintained! The unmaintenance gremlins are going to implement so many bugs and vulnerabilities!

WDYM? The only listed dependency is bash

Bash is bloat
