💻 Goodbye, Neofetch, and thanks for all the fish
Neofetch is no more. The git repository for the venerable tool to show off the users' window manager configurations on /r/unixporn was archived and will no longer be maintained. Granted, it hadn't received a commit for around 3 years, so this is not unexpected.
Thankfully, many tools of this kind abound in the FOSS world. One is Fastfetch, which is very similar to Neofetch but supposedly faster. Moments ago, I installed Fastfech and wasted a little bit of time configuring it. Why? Because.
The main difference between the two, from a user point of view, is that JSONC is used for Fastfetch's configuration. You can see all the options for the built-in modules on the schema present at the tool's repository or the documentation. You can also use my configuration below as a starting point.

If you want something different, there are several options, such as Nitch, Pfetch, Catnip, and Meowfetch. I'm the maintainer for the meowfetch-git package on Arch Linux's AUR, and I recommend it if you want to see a kitty every time you display your system info on the terminal.
