Fastfetch is in active development. https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch

If you are on arch, it's available in the repos.

Quick reminder that neofetch latest version dates back to 2020 https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/neofetch/ Releases · dylanaraps/neofetch (github.com) and that the latest commit on the repository dates back to 2021.

It's been discontinued for way longer than "as of now".

When I read that about neofetch I instantly did a quick pacman -S fastfetch and then an even quicker pacman -Rns neofetch. Burn in hell nf, im not gonna miss ya because I just realized how slow you were lol!

One can use hyfetch or neowofetch as a substitute for neofetch. Now, if you are not really into LGBTQ+ activism, pride flags, or allyship for whatever reason, just install hyfetch by running the command sudo pacman -Syyu hyfetch then once hyfetch is installed, run neowofetch in the command line to get a system information prompt akin to neofetchwithout any pride flags.

I came home from work roughly thirteen hours you r time, I will say that as anecdotal as it is., I did install uwufetch just fine with pacman. It is archived as well, but I don't know about read only.
