Is Neofetch abandoned?
Ive noticed its has been any activity in their github for a longtime. https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch
There are a few more info that could be added nowadays like Display Protocol (Wayland/X11) and Display size. FastFetch does this but Neofetch is globally recognized.
Fastfetch vs Neofetch
You're viewing a single thread.
i hate always having to find out years later some software i use has been unmantained for years.
there should at least be some sort of notification when this happens baked in to package managers
On the flip side, some packages just do something incredibly simple like print some info about your machine along with an ASCII image, and there's not really anything else to do once it's feature complete.
Neofetch would need maintenance, because it cannot deal with new WMs and DEs that came out after abandonment.
Just use Fastfetc..
I actually did switch to fastfetch yesterday, but is it not just reading a string somewhere? Why would a new WM/DE break a glorified
println?That's not how it works. Otherwise it would correctly identify Hyprland, Labwc etc, but it tends to just print Sway for all WLR based.
Interesting. Do you know where it gets "sway"? Or is it just assuming Wayland implies sway, because at the time it kinda did?
