fastfetch fastfetch-cli

fastfetch is a system information tool designed to display hardware, software, and performance metrics in a visually appealing manner. Unlike neofetch, fastfetch is written primarily in C, ensuring faster execution and reduced resource usage.

Key Features:

• Speed: Optimized for quick execution, making it ideal for use in shell scripts or startup processes.
• Cross-platform Support: Works on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly, Haiku, and SunOS.
• Customizable Output: Uses JSONC (JSON with comments) for configuration, allowing users to tailor the displayed information and formatting.
• Performance Metrics: Provides detailed insights into CPU, GPU, memory, disk usage, network interfaces, and more.
• Comprehensive Modules: Supports a wide range of modules for different types of system information, including distro detection, package counts, shell details, and more.
• Accurate Data Display: Ensures precise representation of system data, such as memory sizes in appropriate units (e.g., 555.00 MiB instead of generic approximations).

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for system administrators, developers, and users who need a fast, lightweight tool to gather and display system information. Fastfetch provides a polished and customizable way to present hardware and software details without the overhead of more resource-intensive alternatives.

Installation can be done via winget on Windows or through various package managers on Linux distributions.
