## What it is

fastfetch prints a summary of your system, such as the OS, kernel, desktop, CPU, GPU, memory and disk usage, beside an ASCII logo of your distribution. It's a faster, maintained successor to neofetch.

```
fastfetch
```

## Why it's here

- **System details in one command.** Handy when asking for help or checking a new machine.
- **Quick.** It's written in C and returns instantly.

## On CoreDesktop

fastfetch is installed from pacman. Type `fastfetch` in a terminal. `update` keeps it current along with the rest of the pacman packages.
