v2.64.2
MIT
Fast C-based system information display tool that mimics neofetch with significantly better performance.
Why you might care
Drop-in replacement for neofetch that displays OS, hardware, and system stats in your terminal startup or scripts, but runs substantially faster due to C implementation instead of shell/Bash. Highly configurable with JSON/YAML config and supports multiple output formats including image display via chafa.
