      I use pfetch-rs in new terminal sessions to add a little bit of decor. It doesn’t do anything but look nice, I just added some custom ascii art and it shows some specs

        I’ve seen people who have it launch as they open a new terminal, and I did that for like an hour once but I open so many terminals all the time (I live in the terminal, kind of) it just got annoying. I just want a minimal prompt.

      I once had it in my .zshrc to show after opening a new shell session.

      But I guess most use it for screenshots to show their hardware and config at a quick glance with eye candy.

        Gee, thanks. 😄

        I meant, what can the tool be used for besides show you pretty information for a screenshot and tell you stuff you should already know about your system, or can find out using better/more specialized tools.
