    I tried fastfetch which was very fast, but didn’t work correctly for me. It told me I had 16 flatpaks installed, but I don’t even have flatpak! On another preset it gave the wrong number of pacman packages installed. The coloured bars also rendered with visible seams in between because it uses characters instead of colouring the background. It also didn’t show my terminal font at all. I can’t open issues because I didn’t bother to activate 2fa on my github account. I ended up writing a simple fetch for fun, it shows pacman and rust packages, learned a few things about terminal escape codes.

      I’m not judging, but reading those two lines back to back is pretty funny.

      Also good to know what causes those seams. I’ve noticed it in some consoles, but never bothered to check why exactly that is.

        I guess that is pretty funny, didn’t notice it while writing lol. When it comes to those seams, I think it depends on your font whether it will have seams or not. Colouring the background is more consistent in my experience.
