my neofetch is not working how do i fix it

[MikeWalsh]

@KGIII :-

I never really knew what "markdown" meant.....but I learnt the 'black art' of directly entering BBcode in posts as I wrote them, years ago on the old Murga-Linux 'Puppy' forum. I still do it nowadays; I actually find it quicker than using the menu buttons in the various forum text editors.....and by doing so, I don't tend to lose the gist of what I'm saying so easily.

phpBB does all this in small letters. Many others - like here, at Linux.org - use the exact same BBcode 'tags'.....just in capitals instead. Emojis, in particular; many are the same wherever you happen to be, although 'unusual' ones will have tags that need to be learnt initially.

Thanks for the info about the use of the backtick in this context, David. That's another "string to my bow"!

(The 'thumbup' emoji I've just used is one of a whole bunch of original Skype emojis which I've saved over the years. Most have been 'downsized' using the 'resize' feature over at

Animated gif tools

Easy to use online animated GIF maker and image editor. Create, convert, crop, resize, reverse, optimize animated GIF, WebP, APNG files, images and videos.

.....then re-saved in a smaller, more usable 'forum-friendly' size, followed by uploading to a dedicated folder where I keep all of these in my PostImages image-hosting a/c. From here, I can 'share' as & when wanted.)

I confess, I'm quite fussy about post presentation. I was taught to write - and think - in proper 'Queen's English' all those years ago in school.....and have discovered for myself what a huge difference it makes - many times! - when reading - & being able to easily absorb the content of - articles/posts/blog entries made by others.

The way many of my own countrymen murder the English language is a source of constant amusement.....and frequent annoyance. And don't get me started on the 'delights' of text-speak....

The fastfetch in the openSUSE and Fedora repos is written in C and compiled.

That is where fastfetch's name comes from.

I don't know about elsewhere.

I stand corrected! Having not used Fastfetch myself, I assumed it was simply a fork of Neofetch.....and presumably written to work the same way.

And we ALL know how "assume" frequently makes an "ass" out of both "u" and "me".....don't we?

As @KGIII says above, Neofetch works fine for us in Puppyland, since most of us tend to run pretty elderly hardware much of the time, such being Puppy's original, primary 'raison d'être'......that of keeping old hardware still productive, useful AND out of either landfill or the recycling system.

There are a bunch of *fetch applications out there. I don't recall any of them being older than ScreenFetch but even that may be based on something else. The goal was, back then, to create a simple screenshot that gave basic system information. The screenshot was pretty much the entire point of it, thus the name.

That has (d)evolved into the various other options out there, some of which don't even take screenshots.

Anyhow, if someone is feeling energetic, they can do something I've meant to do. Somewhere, perhaps in the forum support sub-forum, they could write a post about the various markdown options available. Said person should go through the whole list of them to see which ones are applicable here and which ones are not applicable here.

Here's the basics:

Basic Syntax | Markdown Guide

The Markdown elements outlined in the original design document.

I'm not sure if I know all those options that are available here. Those are just the options that I've tested. I'm a pretty big fan of markdown. There's a markdown note-taking application that's pretty good note-taking application called Folio for Linux. There are at least a few others but markdown makes basic text formatting a pretty quick process where you don't need to move your hands from the keyboard to the mouse.

As someone that types reasonably well, I prefer to keep my hands on the keyboard when trying to convey information.

I still use neofetch because it works and it is already installed. I won't bother installing fastfetch.

fastfetch has quite a few more variables and flexibility than neofetch. Here's an example from this machine:

Note that the configs have been tweaked in the config file at ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc
The cat is from an ascii art archive of interest
There's also a cpufetch which may be of interest. Output from the same machine shows the following:

Overall I'd say fastfetch is probably worth having a look at not only because it's a more revealing app but because it's being developed at present whereas neofetch isn't.

You convinced me. I just installed it.

Neofetch isnt supported anymore, and btw fastfetch (as the name suggests) is faster

Awesome

I don't really care about it honestly. It does the job. Didn't know about cpufetch thank you for that.
