    Compared to Neofetch: Fastfetch is noticably faster and lighter on the system. It also show more information and seem to be more configurable.

    Before installing, DNF reckon Fastfetch would take up 33 MB (14 packages) if installed while Neofetch would take up 37 MB (21 packages) if installed.

    Replacing Neofetch with Fastfetch is to me a no-brainer. :)

    In my testing, Neofetch is faster and has better information that is displayed with better formatting. I'm guessing Neofetch improved and that might explain why there are comments saying Screenfetch is faster and looks better, which was not the case for me. Screenfetch hasn't been updated since 2019.

    Not exactly an alternative in terms of appearance. But it gives detailed info about every hardware component. You definitely don't want to use this for a screenshot LOL. It's more of a debugger.

    Not a screenshot-focused way of showing off your system, like neofetch is. Can, however provide some of the same functionality.

    It's the best windows alternative to neofetch, since it's running natively and faster. You also can easily install it from scoop or chocolatey package managers.
