What is Fastfetch?

Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying it beautifully in your terminal — OS, kernel, hardware, uptime, packages, desktop environment and much more, next to your distro's logo. Written mainly in C with performance and customizability in mind, it became the de-facto successor when neofetch was archived, and it's actively developed with frequent releases.

😤 The archive-version problem: Older Ubuntu releases don't ship fastfetch at all, and where the archive has it, it's frozen at import time. Upstream moves fast: new logos, new detection modules, and fixes for new hardware land constantly, so the archive version silently falls behind. This repository serves current upstream builds while keeping the exact same file layout as the official archive package, so switching is seamless in both directions.

            🚀 Always ahead of the official archives: Debian and Ubuntu freeze package versions when a release ships — this repository publishes new upstream releases typically within hours. A simple apt upgrade keeps you on the latest version.
        

⚡ Key Features of Fastfetch

🏎️ Fast by Design

Written in C with concurrent detection — renders complete system info in milliseconds, a fraction of neofetch's startup time.

🧩 50+ Info Modules

OS, kernel, CPU, GPU, memory, disks, battery, display, DE/WM, terminal, packages, media player and many more — each individually configurable.

🎨 Presets Included

This package ships all built-in presets under /usr/share/fastfetch/presets/ — including a faithful neofetch preset for instant familiarity.

📝 JSONC Configuration

One documented JSONC config file controls modules, formatting and logos. Generate a starting point with fastfetch --gen-config.

🖼️ Logo Flexibility

Hundreds of built-in distro logos, plus image logos via sixel/kitty/iTerm protocols, custom ASCII art, or none at all.

🐚 Shell Completions

Bash, zsh and fish completions plus a man page — installed to the standard Debian paths, matching the archive package.

🏆 Why this repository instead of the archive version?

Current version: new upstream releases within hours, not frozen for the lifetime of a Debian release
Same layout: file-for-file aligned with the official Debian package — presets, completions, man page all in the standard places
Drop-in switch: installing from this repo simply upgrades the archive package; removing the repo falls back cleanly
Automatic updates: new releases arrive with your normal apt upgrade
Multi-arch: amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, s390x and riscv64
