Fastfetch, the popular tool for fetching system information and displaying in command-line interface (CLI), released new 2.69.0 version yesterday.<\/p>\n

The new version of this free open-source NeoFetch like tool added more detection support for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android users.<\/p>\n

For Linux, it can now display CPU name and frequency on SPARC, the RISC CPU architecture designed by Sun Microsystems<\/strong>, mainly used in workstations and servers, especially systems running Solaris operating system.<\/p>\n

It now detects the version of Umbriel Wayland compositor, counts the packages installed through rum<\/code> in RakuOS, and, detects packages installed on CRUX Linux.<\/p>\n

On the Android side, it now detects more Android ROM names including HarmonyOS, Flyme, OneUI, LineageOS, and many others.<\/p>\n

For Android 11 or later, it can now show Wi-Fi interface, connection, standard, and security information. On Android 13 or later, it can also show display mode, physical size, rotation, and HDR information.<\/p>\n

And, for devices with root or ADB access, it can show detailed battery information and also display information.<\/p>\n

On Windows, macOS, as well as Android, the image logos are now rendering with system native image processing libraries instead of ImageMagick. So ImageMagick is no longer required as dependency in these platforms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The --kitty<\/code> command option, that can render a local image file as the main logo, now supports GIF<\/b> and APNG<\/b> animated images. By setting logo.animationFrame<\/code> to 0<\/code> will play animations in compatible kitty terminals, while positive (e.g, 1, 2, 3) or negative (e.g, -1) values select a fixed image from animation.<\/p>\n
