    Does it have to be developed further? Neofetch looks like a finished product.

      It would need to keep up with future changes and any security updates

        Well, it does its job for now. As for the security updates… Isn’t neofetch just a little fancy tool to display data from your system that is already exposed to any process on your distribution? What attack surface does it introduce?

          Going by the releases, it didn’t need updates that often, but it still needed updates to fix and ensure compatibility as things changed

          Security wise, I think you’re right

      It still had issues like handling 8-bit colors in ascii art incorrectly last I checked a few years back, with that pr already being a few years old then.
