Linux utility Neofetch: Development now officially discontinued, what alternatives are available?
The popular command line tool Neofetch has not been actively developed for several years, and the source code has now been archived on GitHub by programmer Dylan Araps. However, there are a number of alternatives for displaying your Linux system information in the terminal.
If you wanted to share a screenshot of your carefully configured Linux desktop with other users, you usually used Neofetch to provide your own system information. But on 26 April, Neofetch developer Dylan Araps officially announced the end of the command-line tool: He’s now doing farming, as Araps’ GitHub page briefly states.
The end of Neofetch’s development is not entirely unexpected, however, as the last change to the source code was made three years ago. If you still want to use the tool to display information such as your distribution, kernel and desktop interface alongside an ASCII logo, you can of course continue to do so. However, there are a number of alternatives that are actively being developed.
