Neofetch is no longer in active development. Use Hyfetch or Archey instead.
Or fastfetch
Use them for what exactly? The only use case I could ever see is for screenshots.
What about fastfetch? I’ve been a happy user for a while.
What is it that will need additional development?
Any security patches or kernel implementation.

It could support Unicode distro logos. Or sixel. Or Kitty Graphics Protocol. It could try rendering text using 24-bit color, rather than just the 16 ANSI colors.
EDIT: Looking at the
fastfetch (1)man page, it looks like it supports Sixel, Kitty Graphics Protocol, and 24-bit color, though given that it doesn’t use them onfoot, I assume that it doesn’t try to detect terminals that support them and use them by default.Doesn’t ship with Unicode distro logos either, but it apparently supports user-specified logo files, so I imagine that one could obtain a Unicode logo from somewhere and use that.
EDIT2: Yeah, doesn’t detect and auto-use them on
kittyeither.EDIT3: Oh, wait.
neofetchhas to support some kind of graphics protocol too, even if it doesn’t use it for the distro logos, since you can see it using it for the sexy anime girl on the example image on the GitHub project page:All those bits of hardware and software detection, logos, distros, interfacing with the different system information, it’s all an ongoing effort. It’s essentially shooting at a constantly moving target.
I use fastfetch.
I like having the butt mogged some zoomers girl as my background.
what could you want more

also some socks
Replace anime girl with a furry character and you got it.
That was implied with “sexy”.
The consensus middle ground was an anime catgirl.
I bet your self hosted services actually work too.
Yeah too many just look so… samey. Not mine, but one I wish to recreate
That’s obviously just reskinned domain/os. You thought you could fool us, but you haven’t got one over on me!
In terms of window decorations, looks like twm with default settings. Standard window manager to ship with what is now Xorg.
EDIT: For emacs, those are also default colors, I think, for at least some point. X11 color names HarvestWheat and ForestGreen, if memory serves aright.
EDIT2: No, that’s probably not a graphical emacs instance, because the title is “sh”. They’re probably running sh and then running console emacs (or vim or something else, I guess, can configure either to look like that) and don’t have their shell set up to pass the escape sequences to tell the virtual terminal program to update the window title.
EDIT3: Also, the color’s the default twm color, but that’s not the default twm decorations. That’s…damn, I can’t remember the name of that widget set.
goes poking around
Motif. And apparently mwm used Motif widgets.
One thing I don’t get with making you desktop or setup anime girl themed. Doesn’t anyone visit you? Relatives? Landlord? Or anyone really. And what’s the point, to get an erection while doing a PowerPoint presentation?
Are you an adult or a bitch ass punk? Do you care what people think, they are mostly focused on themselves. Why do you feel the need to conform to preconceived society rules at all? You will be dead, nobody will care. You are alive now enjoy yourself and the things you like. Don’t hurt others.
I mean, I’d personally rather see an anime girl themed desktop than those weird statues rich people sometimes have in places like on their coffee table that are stuff like a woman in the boob + butt out pose with no limbs or head. That shit is just creepy looking. I know it’s supposed to be reminiscent of broken Greek and Roman statues, but why do they always have to be posed and objectified like porn stars? At least with the anime girl, I know that I’m talking to an otaku rather than Hannibal Lecter.
These people already see me regularly. They deserve seeing something not quite as hot as me on my screen for a change. :V
There’s some classy non-sexualized “anime girl” backgrounds that are pretty slick.

I really enjoy this one for Wallpaper Engine.
Fits the sexy android aesthetic without showing any of the body, instead focusing on the android aspect.
Yooo that slaps
That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.
Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.
As someone with sexy art in the wallpaper rotation of all my devices…
It’s just nice to look at?
Sexual beauty can be appreciated in the same way as any other kind of beaty. And doing so doesn’t actually require being turned on, at least not in my case.
Even when it happens, enjoying art and looking at porn are different things. With porn, arousal is the only point. With something artistic, arousal is just one sliver of the full spectrum of human experience a piece might provoke.
People make custom PC builds to look cool for no other reason than that it looks cool. People hike to mountaintops just because the view is incredible. Architechts endeavor to make buildings both pleasant to look at, and be in.
The sexy art isn’t pornographic to me. All I do, really, is enjoy looking at it for a moment as I go about using my devices. There is nothing perfomative about it. I could not care less what someone else thinks looking over my shoulder at my screen.
Thanks for the explanation 👍
What if, mind boggling concept, they do it for themselves not for others to see?
What if, that might overwhelm you, this doesn’t answer the question at all?
You’re simply pushing the question half a millimeter to the side. Nothing more.
Gives new meaning to hard mode.
Doesn’t anyone visit you?
Deep down you know the answer
And what’s the point
Simping, setting unrealistic transitioning goals, often both
My desktop background has been the same shade of dark blue for the past roughly quarter century.
At first, it was because I didn’t want anything making visual recognition of stuff slower, when I was using a stacking windowing environment. Now I use a tiling windowing system and rarely see the desktop.
On my Android phone, for some inane reason, there’s no option to just use a fixed color background, so I’ve never bothered changing it from whatever the vendor shipped, don’t care enough to make a custom one-color image. I’d probably use black on the Android devices I have with OLED screens on general principle, but again, it doesn’t spend much time being visible.
All that being said, if you’re looking at screenshots of people ricing out their desktop on a community devoted to that, the whole point is to give them an interesting thematic look. They’re gonna have a background.
If you took a screenshot of my desktop, it’d be one blue rectangle. No persistently-visible taskbar. The vast majority of time, if there’s a window up, I have only a single, fullscreen window. That’s not really interesting to look at, and I doubt that anyone doing that is going to put it on a “rice your desktop” community, in the same sort of way that nobody is going to go to a “rice your car” community and post images of a vanilla Camry.
Same, solid black on my PC, rocking the default wallpaper on my phone. Interestingly, when I switched to using graphineOS, the default background is solid black, so I have that on my phone now as well, too. I prefer it for the less visual distraction, and the fact that on pled screens it saves battery
same, but mine is black. If it’s not for the tiny led on the monitor, you wouldn’t even know the monitor is on

Uhhh…
Literally just use the same one that’s on your pc? Just KDEconnect that file over (or find any online pic of a solid color wallpaper, whatever you choose of course), and click:
settings>wallpaper and style>change wallpaper>my photos>nav to your file>set wallpaper
(This is why all linux help is CLI, damn GUI nav trees lmao.) But yeah why not that? Works on my machine.
If I were going to do that, I’d create an image scaled to my Android phone, as I don’t know whether the Android system caches a resized image or not.
I mean, I can do it, but just not worth the bother, because I’m not looking at it much. I remember going to the settings, rolling my eyes, and then ignoring it.
Good question, I’m not sure. From using a desktop wallpaper on my android before however I can tell you that in practice, whatever happens with your cache, it just crops the image to fit your screen. It can be a problem if you want the full design, but with a one color image, you’d never be able to tell.
But hell yeah I can understand being way too lazy to care, though still then I wouldn’t be saying “there’s no option…” because there is, you just have to supply the image, which is really very easy if you did care to do it.

If someone is just using a solid color as as a PC wallpaper, there is likely not a “file” to transfer. When using a solid color in the wallpaper settings, desktop environments provide a color picker instead of a file picker.
Ok then,
Prntscrn your home, crop out taskbars.
Or open gimp and make a one color image in any color you can imagine.
Then send that file. There’s ways.
I feel very attacked.
Well recently moved to Hyprland and the installation scripts installed ton of anime girls neo fetch pictures / backgrounds and neon colored/catpuccin themes everywhere. It took me a long time to get used to it.
I… can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Could be a joke, but it would explain a lot of setups I have seen…
I’m in this photo, and I don’t like it
Changing things up by finding the most unattractive anime girl for my background instead.
As the internet will lewd any and all things I deem this challenge impossible!
An unattractive anime girl? Is that even possible?
As long as it’s not watery diarrhea brown (a.k.a “gruvbox”), I’ll take it.
Also! Thick padding/space around tiled windows just taking up valuable screen space.
“I use a tiling window manager to utilise screen space!”
