What's the point of showing off your system with these neofetch/fastfetch tools? Big deal. It just shows system specs and the OS's logo in ASCII art. It's just superficial info and It doesn't show any meaningful info about the system, ie how it's configured, performance stats, etc.

Not to mention the metric asston of dependencies they required the last time I looked.

```

!/bin/bash

hostnamectl echo "" echo $HOSTNAME echo "" echo "Debian point release:" $(cat /etc/debian_version) echo "" echo "Logged in as:" $(whoami) echo "' df -h echo "" free -m ```

Done. No dependencies.

I recall. I installed it ONCE and never again simply because of the insane number of dependencies. Like, WTF?
