Rice Your Terminal With Fetch Master 6000 DistroTube Fetch Master 6000 is an ASCII art fetch program similar to the popular Neofetch program. It offers a number of different ASCII art characters and a information box that is customizable. And the best part about it is that it is only 316 lines of code! - https://github.com/anhsirk0/fetch-master-6000

It needs a little love, but I'm altogether impressed, especially with those flags. Hope they add a licence! Kudos to the writer(s).
BTW, keep in mind that to be effective, Neofetch would probably need to be quite big, due to compatibility, configurability, and wrestling with the terminal to get the layout right. Also, remember that the line count isn't everything - just because there are X number of lines, doesn't mean they are all executed and/or intensive.
Neofetch being slow is very likely due to it being written with inefficiencies and redundancies, such as excessively using external programs; this is why I profess the contrary.
That said, Neofetch might be slow largely or in part due to accessing the net, for some weird reason. Maybe it automatically checks for an update?
Honestly, as much as I love PERL, the interpreter is also quite a bit to load, even if the program itself (IE: -fm6000-) is efficient; this won't typically matter, but in this case, I'd argue that it does. With that in mind, I'd write it in BASH. Still, at least it's much faster than Neofetch!

Hi I am Anhsirk0 (Author of fm6000)
Thanks ! I was surprised to see it here
The extra quote issue is fixed (via PR , thanks to mtwb47)
I added the GPL-3 Licence
Its just a small script , not mean to be replace any kind of fetch thats out there.
A lot of people are scared of Perl. I think Perl is underrated/unpopular.
I like Perl , it kinda feels like bash with wings. It goes good with shell and already available in every(mostly) Linux/Unix Distros
Languages are just tools.
I like the Dilbert TV Show and Kakoune text editor (which has a Dilbert assistant), So I got the Idea from there (also the ASCII art)
Showing system info is just to show something along with it.
Thanks for checking it out . means a lot

Although I have neofetch installed for screenshot/video purposes to provide quick info, I never execute it and couldn-t care less for this non-sense. I customize my prompt and my terminal emulator-s colors. That-s it. ASCII art in the terminal is just wasted space (I would clean screen every time anyways)

I tested here and despite being a little limited (it didn't detected my WM, login shell and OS automatically) it's very fast, simple and lightweight compared to neofetch/screenfetch. I liked a lot! Thanks for sharing it!

Perl Script ... Easy to change the source code. May I interject for a moment and say: Nope.
Don't get me wrong. Perl had it's time, but this time is long over and easier languages like python or ruby took it's place.

I just was looking for an alternative to neofetch then I found this video
This is very beautiful fech I like it
it remembered me lolcat because lolcat is colored
thank you Sir I'm happy - that i saw it

reply

Good to know I can now login and be reminded which OS and WM, just in case I forgot after spending a long time installing and customizing it.
Also, what' s wrong with fortune and cowsay?

reply

using pfetch but a little change is fine, it becomes boring to see the same arch logo over and over again when opening a terminal. Also it seems to spawn a little bit faster than pfetch

Fetchmaster 6000 is a reference to the old Dilbert cartoon from 2000 or so. For several episodes they were tasked with building an exercise machine called the Gruntmaster 6000.
reply

by the way there is a way to customize neofetch throgh the config file of neofetch is possible to disable some informations or enable others like disk or ip or music
