Fastfetch has released version 2.57.0, enhancing its capabilities as an open-source, multi-platform application designed for quickly fetching and displaying system information. Written primarily in C, Fastfetch prioritizes performance and customizability when retrieving system data and presenting it in an attractive format.
The application comprises two executables: the primary Fastfetch and an alternative called Flashfetch. Fastfetch can be configured using various flags, which users can make persistent by saving them in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fastfetch/config.conf file. To explore available configuration options, users can run the command `fastfetch --help`. Flashfetch, on the other hand, is optimized at compile time to minimize overhead, with its configuration handled directly in the source code file `src/flashfetch.c`.
The ongoing development of Fastfetch promises a plethora of additional features, making it increasingly beneficial for users on slower machines. For convenience, there are pre-made configuration files available in the presets directory, which can be loaded using the `--load-config` option. These files also serve as useful examples for understanding format arguments.
Customization extends to the logos displayed by Fastfetch, with detailed logo documentation accessible in the developer repository for those interested in enhancing their system's visual presentation.
In addition to its core functionalities, Fastfetch supports various system identification tasks, such as determining hardware specifications, identifying processor models, and counting CPU cores. This makes it a versatile tool for users looking to better understand their systems.
As of October 2023, Fastfetch continues to evolve, promising more features and improvements in future updates. Users are encouraged to explore its capabilities and contribute to its development to enhance their experience and the functionality of the application
