      I’ve installed several windows managers, bash, kernel, etc… without really knowing what I’m doing. It help me quickly check on which config I am.

        Baffling. Are you then just kind of blindly copy pasting commands in your terminal or what’s going on there? How do you manage to do all that without knowing what you are doing?

      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.

        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.

      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.
