I've been using neofetch since I don't know when but I always like of being extremely customizable.

This reminded me of when `null-ls` for Neovim was archived. It's a bittersweet reminder that things, even software, don't last forever.

I don't like to think of software as "dead." Instead, it's a chance to find new tools that can fill the gap. According to the Awesome Fetch repo, here are some of the best alternatives to Neofetch.

I don't like to consider the software dead (because this doesn't exists, I guess) but we need to have new cli tools to replace neofetch

Accordinly to Awesome Fetch, these are the most starred repos for fetch tools.
