neofetch

Displays system information alongside ASCII art.

Usage

neofetch

Run when opening a new terminal or entering a new environment to quickly check OS, kernel, CPU, memory, and other system details.

Displayed Information

Field Content
OS Distribution name and version
Host Hostname and machine model
Kernel Kernel version
Uptime System uptime
Packages Number of installed packages
Shell Current shell and version
Resolution Screen resolution (if desktop environment is available)
DE / WM Desktop environment / window manager
Terminal Terminal emulator in use
CPU Processor name and core count
GPU Graphics card (if detectable)
Memory Used / total memory

Common Options

neofetch --off            # Show info only, no ASCII art
neofetch --ascii_distro ubuntu  # Use a different distro's ASCII art
neofetch --config none    # Ignore config file

Configuration File

Customize displayed fields, colors, and ASCII art in ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf.

# Generate config file (first time)
neofetch --config ~/.config/neofetch/config.conf

Key settings:

  • Comment out info lines to hide specific fields
  • Change image_backend to use images instead of ASCII art (requires kitty / iTerm2 / WezTerm)
  • Customize colors for the color scheme

WSL Note

On WSL2, GPU info and screen resolution may not be detected correctly. Using neofetch --off gives stable output for the info section only.
