From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

most popular fork - hyfetch
That's so fetch!
Stop trying to make "fetch" happen.
Why not, it's streets ahead
It's so fetchy!
Does it not have a Fedora package or is it just not listed on the GitHub page?
pip install hyfetchI just found it weird that one of the most popular distros doesn't have a package for it.
Is that unusual that python packages aren't shipped as deb/rpm? Or any language packages for that matter?
The readme states:
"This repo also serves as an updated version of the original neofetch since the upstream dylanaraps/neofetch doesn't seem to be maintained anymore (as of Oct 27, 2023, the original repo hasn't merged a pull request for almost 2 years). If you only want to use the updated neofetch without pride flags, you can use the neofetch script from this repo. To prevent command name conflict, I call it neowofetch :)"
But its essentially an LGBTQ version and not a "maintained version of neofetch"
Well yes obviously but it does serve a purpose as a maintained fork, that's why I included that. I expect a normal fork will be made soon because of this news.
You know you can just ignore it and check alternatives, since there are a lot of forks, right?
Yes. It's actually the best idea. I guess I'm just not strong enough to avoid arguing in that case
How are you on lemmy, of all places
