Neofetch is a fast, highly customizable
command-line system information tool.
It displays system information next to an image,
which can be your distribution's logo (ASCII art),
a custom image, or any image file.
It aims to be simple, clean, and
provide a quick overview of your system's
configuration.

Information commonly displayed includes
your Operating System, Host, Kernel, Uptime,
Packages, Shell, Resolution, Desktop Environment,
Window Manager, Theme, Icons, Terminal,
Terminal Font, CPU, GPU, and Memory usage.
Its aesthetic output makes it popular for
sharing system specs, especially within
Linux communities, often featured in screenshots
of customized terminal setups.

While highly customizable, Neofetch relies on
various external system tools and files to gather information.
Missing dependencies for specific information
(e.g., sensors for temperature, imagemagick for image support)
might result in missing or incorrect output.
Its ASCII art might not render perfectly in all terminal
emulators or with certain fonts.
It's primarily a community-driven project and
not part of standard GNU core utilities.

Neofetch offers extensive customization through its
configuration file, typically found at
~/.config/neofetch/config.conf.
This file allows users to define what information
is displayed, its order, colors, alignment,
ASCII art source, and many other aspects,
providing unparalleled control over the output.

One of Neofetch's primary appeals is its
aesthetic output, which has made it a
favorite among users on platforms like
r/unixporn. It's often the first
command executed to showcase a
newly configured Linux desktop,
highlighting the user's choices in
distribution, desktop environment,
window manager, and theme in a visually
appealing format.

Neofetch was created by Dylan Araps
and quickly gained popularity as a more
modern and highly customizable alternative
to existing tools like screenfetch.
Its development focused on providing a
clean, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing
system information display, often seen
as a staple in screenshots shared by
Linux enthusiasts showcasing their
highly personalized desktop environments.
It has been widely adopted across
various Linux distributions.
