Fastfetch is a lightweight, highly customizable tool for displaying system information on Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD, and Android. Written in pure C, it outperforms Neofetch by up to 30x in speed while offering more modules and features.

It prints details like OS, host, kernel, Uptime, Packages, Shell, Display resolution, DE/WM, WM Theme, Icon Theme, Font, Cursor, Terminal, CPU, GPU, Memory, Disk, Battery, Locale, Accent color, and more, arranged in a key-value format with optional ASCII/ASCII art logos (supports 1000+ presets for distros, desktops, etc.).

Customization via CLI flags, JSONC config files (~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc), or presets. Modules can be enabled/disabled/reordered with --structure. Colors, formats, and separators are tweakable. Supports image backends (kitty, sixel, etc.) for graphical logos. Ideal for terminal ricing, screenshots, and dotfiles.

Some modules require additional libraries (e.g., vulkan for GPU, libpulse for audio). Image logos need terminal support (kitty, wezterm, etc.). High module count may slightly impact speed. Config parsing is strict JSONC.

Primary config: ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc. Supports $HOME vars, comments. CLI args override config. Presets in /usr/share/fastfetch/presets.

120+ modules available (title,separator,os,host,kernel,uptime,packages,shell,resolution,de,wm,theme,icons,font,cursor,terminal,cpu,gpu,memory,swap,disk,battery,locale,accent,etc.). Use fastfetch --list-modules.

Protocols: kitty, sixel, iterm2,lerc,apvlv. Set --logo-type image --logo-src path/to/image.png.

Runs 40x faster than Neofetch on average. Use --speed for timings.

Developed by Linus Dierheimer in 2022 as a faster Neofetch alternative. Initial release v1.0.0 in Feb 2022. Rewritten in C from Zig for performance. Surpassed 10k GitHub stars by 2023. Actively maintained with frequent releases; v2.20+ added Windows/Android support, 80+ modules.
