nothing? not getting fixed? hello?

[bekaertruben]

It is indeed still broken

[raniesantos]

@bekaertruben have you found any alternative?

[bekaertruben]

Nah, I just have both of them showing. No idea why this happens

[raniesantos]

Shame, this is pretty much the only fetch application that's actively maintained, but even still bugs get left unfixed.

@bekaertruben here's an alternative while waiting for this issue to receive any attention from the dev. fastfetch doesn't have this problem. Additionally, neofetch takes forever to count my RPM packages, in fastfetch it's instant.

@raniesantos fastfetch doesn't actuall fix the issue, but unlike this repo, it is still maintained. So I submitted an issue there, and the dev figured out the issue with neofetch's implementation:

Neofetchs implementation is to show intel only if the type is integrated, nvidia only if the type is dedicated, and AMD always. With intel now producing dedicated GPUs as well that is not a solution i want to use.

So of course it shows the integrated AMD gpu even when you don't want it to. We're figuring out a solution for this now tho, so if anyone in the future comes across this, just go to fastfetch. It's faster, it's cleaner, it's maintained. Neofetch is just dead
