Ive noticed its has been any activity in their github for a longtime. https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch
There are a few more info that could be added nowadays like Display Protocol (Wayland/X11) and Display size. FastFetch does this but Neofetch is globally recognized.
Fastfetch vs Neofetch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's a million alternatives that do the exact same thing. Fastfetch is just better, since it's still maintained, and not painfully slow. I used to think neofetch being slow was kind of cute. Then I switched to fastfetch, and now I can't bear the years neofetch takes to run.
It takes half a second. Would it help if it played a family guy or gtav clip for you while you wait?
It takes much longer than half a second on older hardware.
It's a bash script, whereas fastfetch is written in C (I think). The speed increase is absolutely beneficial. Fastfetch finishes near instantly on my old Toshiba Satellite.
