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
What’s wrong with no updates in 3 years? In my eyes, the software still does what it says in the box, meaning it is finished software. Games on the SNES are finished and haven’t had updates in 20+ years, I feel like software should be the same
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
There’s a million alternatives that do the exact same thing. Fastfetch is just better, since it’s still maintained, and not painfully slow. I used to think neofetch being slow was kind of cute. Then I switched to fastfetch, and now I can’t bear the years neofetch takes to run.
It definitely seems abandoned. Here’s an issue in the GH repo asking the same question https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/2453
There are 1.5k forks, seems like somebody could carry the torch forward if they were interested. Could be a good way to build experience and reputation.
How does it work, one requests the devs to take over the project or clones it?
