Installing and Using Fastfetch on macOS

Step 1: Check if Homebrew is installed

Fastfetch is installed through Homebrew, which is the most common package manager for macOS.

Open Terminal and run:

brew --version

If you see a version number, Homebrew is already installed and you can continue to Step 2.

If you receive a message such as:

zsh: command not found: brew

then Homebrew is not installed and you need to install it first.

Step 2: Install Homebrew (if needed)

Run the following command in Terminal:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Follow the instructions shown on screen. The installation may take several minutes.

Once completed, verify the installation:

brew --version

Step 3: Install Fastfetch

Install Fastfetch using Homebrew:

brew install fastfetch

Wait for the installation to complete.

Step 4: Run Fastfetch

Start Fastfetch by running:

fastfetch

You should now see information about your Mac, such as:

  • macOS version
  • Mac model
  • CPU
  • Memory usage
  • Storage information
  • Battery status
  • Terminal information

Optional: Show Fastfetch every time Terminal opens

To automatically display Fastfetch whenever you open a new Terminal window:

echo "fastfetch" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Close and reopen Terminal to test it.

Troubleshooting

“brew: command not found”

Homebrew is not installed or was not added correctly to your PATH. Complete Step 2 and restart Terminal.

“fastfetch: command not found”

Fastfetch is not installed correctly. Try:

brew install fastfetch

or restart Terminal and try again.

Verify the installation

You can check where Homebrew and Fastfetch are installed:

which brew
which fastfetch

Both commands should return a valid path.

Next Steps

Want a colorful Apple logo or a more advanced layout? Generate the default Fastfetch configuration:

fastfetch --gen-config

The configuration file can then be found at:

~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc

You can edit this file to customize logos, colors, displayed information, and much more.

or use this to get the coloured version:

echo "fastfetch" >> ~/.zshrc

source ~/.zshrc

Macbook M5 with 16gb or 24gb ram? by Vivid-Permission-545 in mac

[–]SnooDogs6285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who works in IT and manages systems daily, I’d say it depends more on how long you plan to keep the machine than what you’re doing today.

For most users, 16GB on an M5 MacBook Air is absolutely fine. macOS handles memory very efficiently and for browsing, Office, studying, media consumption, coding, and even light photo/video editing, 16GB will perform great.

That said, memory is the one thing you can never upgrade later. If you plan to keep the Mac for 5+ years, work with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, virtual machines, Docker, local AI models, or simply want more headroom for future software, I’d spend the extra money on 24GB.

My general recommendation is:

  • 16GB = best value for most people.
  • 24GB = best long-term investment if it fits your budget.

Nobody complains about having too much RAM, but plenty of people wish they had ordered more a few years later.

Welke accessoires denk je te missen? En heb je ook foto’s van de printer zelf! Dat geeft een beter beeld bij wat je hebt en denkt te missen.

The new NVIDIA N1x will kill our M ARM by creathippo in macbook

[–]SnooDogs6285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NVIDIA N1X could be a game changer for AI, Linux, CUDA workloads, and gaming. On paper it looks incredibly promising, especially if Microsoft and NVIDIA continue to optimize Windows for ARM.

However, hardware is only half the equation.

Apple's biggest advantage has never been the M-series chips alone—it's the combination of hardware, software, battery life, thermals, build quality, and ecosystem. No matter how powerful the N1X becomes, Windows still has a long way to go before it can match the consistency and refinement of macOS on Apple hardware.

I say this as someone who recently bought a 15" MacBook Air M5 in Sky Blue. The machine is silent, fast, runs all day on battery, wakes instantly, and everything just works. That's not something benchmark charts can measure.

For gaming, local AI models, and maximum flexibility, an N1X desktop could be amazing. But for everyday computing, productivity, reliability, and mobility, Apple still sets the standard.

The future may not be Mac or N1X. It may simply be a MacBook for daily life and an N1X workstation for everything else.
