    From the README

    Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying it in a visually appealing way. It is written mainly in C, with a focus on performance and customizability. Currently, it supports Linux, macOS, Windows 8.1+, Android, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly, Haiku and SunOS (illumos, Solaris).

    Note: Fastfetch is only actively tested on x86-64 and aarch64 platforms. It may work on other platforms but is not guaranteed to do so.

    According configuration files for examples are located here.

    Some distributions package outdated versions of fastfetch. Older versions receive no support, so please always try to use the latest version.

    You may need sudo, doas, or sup to run these commands.

    If fastfetch is not packaged for your distribution or an outdated version is packaged, linuxbrew is a good alternative: brew install fastfetch
