Written primarily in C, fastfetch executes quickly with low resource usage, directly addressing its focus on speed as a neofetch alternative.
Uses JSONC configuration files for granular control over modules, logos, and colors, with premade presets available in the repository for examples.
Works on Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, BSD variants, and more, making it versatile for developers across different operating systems.
