Figure out replacement for neofetch #45

Closed geerlingguy closed 1 month ago

geerlingguy commented 1 month ago

Currently I use neofetch to grab a quick friendly-looking overview of the hardware for each system:

https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/sbc-board.md#linuxsystem-information

Neofetch is not maintained, however, so I should pick an alternative before it starts breaking on newer systems.

I like the idea of fastfetch, but it's not just an apt install away. I like a tool I can pop on quickly, even over SSH, and copying and pasting wget commands and changing version numbers for .deb releases is annoying.

Is there another tool that's in the Debian repos (and ideally somewhat universal, also easy to install on Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.) that replaces neofetch's functionality?

I've since shifted to employing screenfetch to my systems: https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch

It has an apt repo for debian, dnf for fedora, aur for arch and so on and so forth, all listed under the install tab on their wiki: https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch/wiki/Installation

It looks pretty snazzy too! Very similar to neofetch and very customizable -- and still maintained.

Indeed, not hard to install and use at all!
