I’ve created a minimal fetch script on my Arch Linux system. It’s written in bash and has been successfully tested on Arch, Debian & Fedora. It works out of the box on Arch, but you do need to change the package count command to adapt it to work with different package managers other than pacman. Also make sure that you have lsb-release installed.
While I’ve nothing against neofetch, I prefer to use my own fetch because it needs little to no maintenance and has everything I need. I actually think that maintaining a neofetch config might actually be more work in the long run. Anyway… I’m using plain old Bash for my shell prompt. I’ve just customized it using nerd fonts (see one of my other comments on this post for the command)…
Fair enough. Whatever floats your boat, I guess. And I’m sure your script is faster because it doesn’t deal with nearly as many of the useless complexities of neofetch.
