Background

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.

How to install

I have made it very easy to install fakefetch by automating most of it for you. +

Step one: The first thing you want to do is clone the gitlab project, you can do + this from the following command.
+ $ git clone https://gitlab.com/Shipwreckt/fakefetch

Step two: after cloneing the project you want to run the setup.sh with ./setup.sh

To configure Fakefetch the file is located at /bin/fakefetch

+ +

Here is an example of fakefetch!

+ Gitlab + + + +

Qtile config

+ Qtile is a desktop environment that is written in the Python programming language. If you + have any knowledge of programming, you might think, how slow is that? Well, it is not really + slow. I have not had any issues with Qtile, and I have only had good experiences with it. It + has been very fun customising it over the time I have been there and making it my own little + by little! If you know how to programme in Python, it is very fun just to toy around with and + customise, so if you want a really hackable desktop environment for Linux, I would suggest Qtile + a thousand times over! +

+ +

+ In both my Qtile configs, laptop and Pc configs I have it set out rather simpily, + I have an install script that sets up my config.py for qtile and asks you if you want + to install some of software that I use. I also have an auto install script that I use + most of the time. These install scripts are written in bash script because they are one + use and it is easier to just do it in bash if its a one use thing that I will delete + afterwards. +

+ +

+ Some of my favourite software I have in the install.sh is Mpv and youtube-dl, this is + because it allows me to watch youtube videos in my terminal. This is further enhanced + by the ytfzf command that allows me to browes videos in my terminal. The reason why I + like this is because youtube has became very annoying. They have games on that website now and + whenever I serch something it only shows like 4 valid resaults, whilst ytfzf shows me + nothing but valid resaults. +

+ +

+ Another good bit of software my install.sh installs is librewolf, a privacy centered brower + that acctually cares about your privacy unlike firefox. Whilst I do like firefox it has + decended from what it once was and you need to install a custom user.js to become really + secsure. Whilst with librewolf iy just does it for you and gives you settings on what + you want to enable. I like librewolf because I know that the brower is designed to keep + ne safe and that makes me feel well safe. +
