\"\"<\/p>\n

Macchina is another command line tool to fetch basic system information in Linux, similar to Neofetch, but focus on performance and minimalism.<\/b><\/p>\n

The software is written in Rust, and it displays basic system information, including hostname, manufacturer, kernel version, uptime, desktop environment, processor, memory \/ battery status, and more. Macchina is pretty fast, it runs 8.53 \u00b1 0.72<\/b> times faster than neofetch!<\/p>\n

Macchina<\/a> is a new project in active development. By adding --theme<\/code> or -t<\/code> flag, you can specify one of the supported themes. They are so far: default<\/i>, alt<\/i>, and long<\/i>. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you can specify the key color (--color<\/code> \/ -c<\/code>), the separator color (--separator-color<\/code> \/ -C<\/code>), let it show palette (-p<\/code>) and display memory usage and battery percentage as bars (-b<\/code>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It also has options to change left padding and spacing.<\/p>\n
