I recommend /etc/os-release over /etc/release or on some distro's, /etc/redhat-release.
neofetch wasn't available for Fedora for a while, but I see it's available in the fedora repo's now.
 
The 'cat /etc/*release' (the third method) should catch those. I can't say for certain, but I think neofetch actually came installed by default on my LXDE version. I can't recall if it was with 33 or 34 and now my only VM has 34 installed.
