Neofetch is a system information tool written in the Bash shell scripting language.[2] By default, on the left side is a logo of the distribution, rendered in ASCII art.[3][4] Unlike a system monitor, the tool only features a static display of the computer's basic hardware and software configurations and their versions, typically operating system, the host (namely the technical name of the machine), uptime, package managers, the shell, display resolution, desktop environment, window manager, themes and icons, the computer terminal, CPU, GPU, and RAM. Neofetch can also display images on the terminal with w3m-img in place of the ASCII logo art. Neofetch development has been discontinued as of April 26, 2024.[5]
