## What it is
Neofetch is a command-line system information tool written in bash 3.2+ that displays OS, software, and hardware info alongside a distro logo or custom image. It is primarily intended for use in system screenshots and is highly configurable via flags and a config file.

## Use cases
- show system info in terminal with distro logo
- take aesthetic screenshots of my linux setup
- display hardware and OS details from the command line
- customize terminal system info output
- show off my desktop ricing setup

## When to choose
- you want a visually pleasing system summary for screenshots
- you need a lightweight bash script with no compilation
- you run an unusual OS and want broad distro support

## When to avoid
- you need detailed system diagnostics or monitoring metrics
- you want actively developed features (the project is in maintenance)
- you need a GUI system information tool

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: operating-systems, developer-tools
- platform: windows, bsd, cli, cross-platform
- tags: system-information, bash, ascii-art, terminal, ricing, screenshot, command-line, linux, macos
