If you really wanted it to show hyprland for the WM, just use prin instead of info

This also happened to me. I think this caused by swaybg(used to set my wallpaper) so ps -e | grep -e sway returns 1778 tty1 00:00:00 swaybg but the command used in neofetch to find the wm ps -e | grep -m 1 -o -F -e sway matches with swaybg and returns sway.

Is there any easy fix to neofetch for this? It seems like simply matching any part of process name especially for programs like swaybg that share the same name could cause general misclassifcations of de/wm's outside just this edgecase

maybe try with -w (match only whole words) : ps -e | grep -w -m 1 -o -F -e sway

An easy way could be just to replace the info line with prin "sway" and customize it to your liking.

The way WMs is identified is also a bit broken. I was getting Hyprland DE Sway WM, but then I also installed gnome so my wife could use that as another user. And now it say im on Hyprland DE with Mutter WM. So the identification process here is not very robust, and cant really be trusted in the way its implemented today.
