2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

What is it that will need additional development?
https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues
All those bits of hardware and software detection, logos, distros, interfacing with the different system information, it's all an ongoing effort. It's essentially shooting at a constantly moving target.

It could support Unicode distro logos. Or sixel. Or Kitty Graphics Protocol. It could try rendering text using 24-bit color, rather than just the 16 ANSI colors.
EDIT: Looking at the
fastfetch (1)man page, it looks like it supports Sixel, Kitty Graphics Protocol, and 24-bit color, though given that it doesn't use them onfoot, I assume that it doesn't try to detect terminals that support them and use them by default.Doesn't ship with Unicode distro logos either, but it apparently supports user-specified logo files, so I imagine that one could obtain a Unicode logo from somewhere and use that.
EDIT2: Yeah, doesn't detect and auto-use them on
kittyeither.EDIT3: Oh, wait.
neofetchhas to support some kind of graphics protocol too, even if it doesn't use it for the distro logos, since you can see it using it for the sexy anime girl on the example image on the GitHub project page:Any security patches or kernel implementation.
