Fakefetch

Background

+ Fakefetch is the first real program I have ever created that I use daily apart from + config files. I made fakefetch when I saw people complaining about neofetch being slow that is why + I have called it fakefetch. In the start it was just 10 lines of bash echo commands which is + like printing in python, so it was bascially bare theminimun, and I was not proud of this + program I was like ok thats done just add it to my .bashrc and continue using Linux. + After about a day I wanted to see if I could add more to it like the uptime, then comes + what package manager im using and after a while I have made my own mini neofetch program + that I can use on all of my computers. +

What is Fakefetch

Fakefetch is alternative to neofetch, it is written in bash script like neofetch + but is not a billion lines long or bloated. + +

Why Fakefetch?

The main reason why you should use Fakefetch is because it is a very flexible + program being written in bash script; it is not a large program, only being one file + large and does not slow down your computer at all unlike Neofetch. Fakefetch is also + very hackable thanks to how I have commented on the code, meaning you can make your own + Fakefetch versions and make it do whatever you want thanks to it being licensed under the + GPL, so you have the right to redistribute it if you make your own versions that you can share + with anybody.
