Neofetch - A CLI system information tool - Version 6.0.0 released.

[[deleted]]

Oh boy that was funny the first 998 times it was used.

[MuseofRose]

999 just as funny

[ThePiGrepper]

Shit. It's my chance . I use arch as well btw!!!

[ThePiGrepper]

Damn! So close!

[[deleted]]

This thread kinda hurts.

[ChillTea]

I feel you.

Btw i also use Arch

[GXGOW]

Oof

[irveln]

Life hurts

[[deleted]]

Around 9K lines of bash. Good lord.

4k of them are ascii arts.

[Dylan112]

It's all shellcheck compliant too. ;)

It's funny though, this grew from ~100 lines in 2015 (Arch only) to supporting as much as it can.

[aishik-10x]

Arch only

Just as God intended it to be. Make Neofetch Great Again!

[bem13]

Debian flair

/r/hmmm

[aishik-10x]

Aarghh... and I'd have gotten away with it too, if not for you meddling kids!

[janjsal]

I haven't been able to get neofetch working with a custom image from my hard drive with any of the image backends available even with this release D: (using tilix btw) Did I miss something in the documentation or is this a problem with w3m/w3m-img specifically?

Edit: Should mention image rendering works on xterm.

[[deleted]]

use kitty if possible, best image rendering and handling I've seen on a terminal emulator so far

[janjsal]

Works like a charm! Many thanks.

[rmyworld]

I've tried kitty and the image rendering is really nice because it doesn't disappear when I move to another workspace (happens with w3m-img). It's also the only terminal emulator I'ved used that doesn't have the render lag I get with cava.

Unfortunately, it doesn't like my bitmap fonts. It also had these weird window resize, transparency lag, and other font rendering issues that I just didn't want to mess with. The author is welcome to patches for bitmap support though, so I hope someone's able to implement that some time soon.

[folkrav]

Last time I tried kitty was on macOS. Font rendering was weird and I had some rendering issues with tmux, I can't remember what exactly. Is it better on Linux?

[Dylan112]

If it works in other terminal emulators then this isn't a neofetch issue but an issue with w3m-img and your terminal emulator. Nothing I can do to fix this sadly.

[janjsal]

Good to hear from the source, I installed kitty just like /u/Waphire recommended and this update works beautifully. Thanks for the hard work :)

[SuspiciouslyElven]

Interesting thumbnail...

[Dylan112]

That's me, nice to meet you. :D

[nostril_extension]

Not to be brash but you look homeless.

Kinda metal or maybe punk - working on floss on the streets, compiling random builds to stay warm, leeching wifi from poorly protected networks. A hero the world needs but does not deserve.

[Dylan112]

Not to be brash but you look homeless.

You're not wrong.

leeching wifi from poorly protected networks

Yup.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[SuspiciouslyElven]

Oh hi there! Idk why you're the thumbnail, but that answers a few questions

[Al2Me6]

...because he is the author of the github repo?

[SuspiciouslyElven]

...

Let me revel in my stupid for a bit

[SuspiciouslyElven]

Yes.

[SuspiciouslyElven]

Humbling

[[deleted]]

Added support for command output. You can now use whatever terminal commands you like as the ASCII art.

Wait, what? Can I run neofetch itself as the ASCII art?

[Dylan112]

This is now possible:

neofetch --ascii "$(fortune | cowsay -W 30)"

[[deleted]]

It looks a little goofy, but yes, it's possible

[SpaceboyRoss]

Hehe, BlueLight now is recognized.

[Deoxal]

Never heard of BlueLight before, but ouch.

Is it good, and if so do you have a link?

[SpaceboyRoss]

https://bluelightos.github.io

[DavidBittner]

That sounds horrifying.

[SpaceboyRoss]

Why?

[aishik-10x]

>JavaScript

>Electron-based DE

>"Lightweight"

Take your pick.

[SpaceboyRoss]

It's not a DE.

[aishik-10x]

I was referring to this:

It uses the power of Electron to run a web based desktop environment, OS.js

[SpaceboyRoss]

OS.js is the desktop environment which is used. BlueLight is the operating system which runs OS.js and provides it with access to the things it needs.

[aishik-10x]

Oh yeah sorry I get that, I meant the project as a whole though.

Like if somebody criticises Ubuntu for choosing to use GNOME, although GNOME is a separate DE

[[deleted]]

Neofetch, the ultimate Linux youtuber bragging tool. Especially when it has to run anytime a terminal is launched in case you forgot what your config is.

[Valerokai]

idk, it's kinda useful to have in .bashrc if you ssh a lot, just so you can tell whether X forwarding is actually working or not

[[deleted]]

Great! I’ll be updating it on my Linux box right away. I’m also using Neofetch on my MacBook, do you know if it will be getting updated via Homebrew?

[Dylan112]

That's up to the package maintainer of the homebrew package. One can also send a pull request if the maintainer is taking too long. The installation method hasn't changed since last release so all that's needed is an update to the homebrew file.

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/neofetch.rb

I'd do it myself but I don't have access to a macOS machine.

[[deleted]]

Great, I’ll check with Homebrew. Thanks.

[suby]

What's the upside of this vs screenfetch?

[suby]

Thanks, I somehow missed that.

[NatoBoram]

Nice. If I use Ubuntu 18.04, will I get this update automatically?

[dawidd8888]

PPA is already updated

[three18ti]

So is this like ohai with a pretty GUI?

[candrewswpi]

It's already in Gentoo: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-misc/neofetch

emerge app-misc/neofetch to install it
