People in the comments talking about how this video convinced them to stick with Neofetch: why? It might look a bit better to some, but anyone that's compared the loading time of both sees just how bloated Neofetch is. Bloat isn't some imaginary thing that elitists like to accuse popular software of, it's real and can be the difference between something taking a few seconds and something running almost instantly.
For r/unixporn screenshots, Neofetch works fine and may be the appropriate tool for the job. But if you want to put a fetch in your .bashrc or .zshrc, Pfetch is the clear winner.

-I kind of quit using neofetch...- What? What kind of use case is that when you NEED to use such informational tool not once, not twice, but every day? Does it really matter how bloated such tool is when you run it only once - when making screenshot of another boring tiling manager setup to brag on /r/unixporn?? I manage Linux servers on daily basis and NEVER used such crap. Maybe I am missing some important feature, please let me know then ;)

Lol i only have that run once on startup on a custom Welcome Screen. Why would I even need to have that on the head of my terminal everytime? Best to only see it when I'm booting into my pc and not the whole time.

oh boi i had neofetch installed on my MacBook air 2019. It took like 3.5 seconds to load in. When I switched to Arch it was faster but I got used to it and I started feeling like it was slow again :D

Funny how you made the video to sell pfetch and ended up making a better argument for just downloading the ufetch script. I ended doing just that.
