neofetch is dead since years. I recommend fastfetch instead neofetch. Besides that, its not really minimalistic as this one. Also because it is written in Python and minimalistic, its easier to make changes for lot of people.
Rust would be more efficient. Hand written assembly would be more efficient. Using butterflies to manually flip bits in the memory would be more efficient.
OP wanted to use Python. It’s not a very large program. It really doesn’t matter.
I don’t believe that. In fact, neofetch is written in Bash and is known to be slow (that is why I looked at faster options). Python is not really slow. It is just a little bit slower on the starting the interpreter, but then it does not matter how fast it is. Because the thing which Python is slow is mostly math and that does not matter much for system query like this.
Did you test neofetch and this program in Python? Because you would be surprised at how fast it can be.
No, but I was not the one claiming that the Bash version would be more performant. As said this is querying the system information, in which Python does basically the same job as Bash. I mean we are not comparing math.
Dude you started this whole nonsense of Bash being more performant. I say without testing you can’t make such statements. Besides that, neofetch is very slow. And do you have any Python script doing this kind of work that is slower than neofetch or do you repeat what people say without testing? I do lot of Python stuff and you would be surprised how fast it can be.

Thanks for your answer.
Fair, but the runtime dependency is Python.
As it is for Linux, I don’t think that’s a problem. Python is pre installed on basically all Linux operating systems.
Bash would be more efficient at this point. But you clearly like this for some reason, which is fine.

Nothing matters 🤷♂️

Did you test this program re-written as a script vs running it in Python?
No, but I was not the one claiming that the Bash version would be more performant. As said this is querying the system information, in which Python does basically the same job as Bash. I mean we are not comparing math.
But you’re claiming Python would be more performant. So…
