If you are like me and like your terminal to offer some status info, but might prefer something a tad more minimal in use and look than neofetch, I recommend pfetch. pfetch like neofetch is written by Dylan Araps. You can see pfetch GitHub page here.

Here’s an install guide.

I am including a scrot of my st terminal running pfetch on Debian LiliDog. Here is the command added to my .zshrc/ .bashrc file to generate the layout:

PF_INFO="ascii title os host kernel uptime pkgs memory shell editor wm palette" pfetch

Here is a proof of life image:

Remember, like with all of my work, I am able to provide the following assurance(s):
  • It is almost certainly going to work until it breaks; although I have to admit it may never work and that would be sad.
  • When/if it does break, you may keep all of the pieces.
  • If you find my materials helpful, both you & I will be happy, at least for a little while.
  • My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
