RAM usage and package amount info is inaccurate #186

Open piotr25691 opened 2 years ago

pfetch doesn't seem to display accurate information in the pkgs and the memory fields.

This is the thing it outputs:

  _____      root@solar
 /  __ \     os     Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
|  /    |    host   vServer 20171111
|  \___-     kernel 5.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
-_           uptime 14h 12m
  --_        pkgs   495
             memory 630M / 1933M

However the RAM usage in htop or even the free -h command is actually hovering at 450 MB, not 630. Even then the package amount is inaccurate too. It shows 495 but when i use apt list --installed | wc -l, it says 490.

This should be fixed.

Happens to me too. For me, it's usually around 500 MB off at all times, so that's pretty inaccurate.

there appears to be a fixed version in the AUR tho yay -S pfetch (not pfetch-git, that one leads to the same inaccurate version this issue is talking about)
