nofetch

The world's fastest fetch script ever made. Runs on a complete potato. Made using POSIX sh unlike some fetch scripts.

Why?

• Why not?
• Fetch scripts are dumb and overrated and are in every r/unixporn post

Benefits of nofetch over other fetch scripts

1. nofetch is made using POSIX sh, meaning that it doesn't rely on bash being installed on the host
2. It is much faster. I know that nobody has enough attention span to be this far into the README so I'm not gonna put in the effort to add charts with confusing numbers but let's just say that neofetch allows me a quick bathroom break when running on a Pentium 3 laptop while nofetch doesn't even give me time to stand up.
3. If you have slow hardware, the --flex option generates a fake hardware report with super awesome specs so you can flex on your gaming buddies (I guess)
4. It doesn't actually fetch anything

Installation

Please be aware that easier methods are being developed and will be released in the future of the project. If you have any methods that are simpler than mine, please let me know

macOS/Linux

1. Download and extract the latest release to your Downloads folder.
2. Open a new Terminal window. (see this for instructions).
3. Type in: sudo cp ~/Downloads/nofetch /usr/local/bin && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/nofetch. Type in your password when necessary
4. Type nofetch to verify if it works.

• Please note: Linux support cannot be guaranteed due to the sheer variety of Linux distributions. If you are having a problem with nofetch on your Linux install, please open an issue.

Windows (experimental)

NOTE: For Windows you will need to install WSL2. See what is WSL to learn about what that is. I am working on a native Windows version of the script that will be out in a newer release.

1. Open a PowerShell window by using the keyboard shortcut WINDOWS + R and typing "powershell".
2. In the newly opened PowerShell window type wsl --install. Follow the installation.
3. Once WSL is installed, type in Windows Search: "WSL" and open the app.
4. Type in the following: sudo apt install curl unzip && curl -O https://github.com/0xCUB3/nofetch/releases/latest/download/nofetch.zip && unzip nofetch.zip && chmod +x nofetch. Type in your WSL password when necessary.
5. Type in nofetch to verify if it works.

Usage

Syntax: nofetch --OPTION COLOR

Pictures

As this script is in early releases, please keep in mind that bugs will occur. Please open an issue in the issues tab if you find any bugs.

Final Words

• In case I haven't mentioned before, fetch scripts are big, bloated, and overrated. This madness needs to stop!
• If you want to help me code this revolution, DM me on Discord (0xCUBE#0001) or Reddit
• I dream of a world where r/unixporn doesn't have fetch scripts in every picture. Use nofetch instead to stop this abomination!
