    Finally it’s official. I think it’s a good move to make it an archived repository, so everyone knows for a fact this is not developed anymore. That means bugs or security issues are no longer actively searched and corrected. I wonder if this program will be taken out from distribution repositories now. My personal alternative is fastfetch .

    Edit: … oh, I didn’t realize all of his repositories are now archived. Not only neofetch: https://github.com/dylanaraps?tab=repositories

      Hopefully the dev is doing well, and has luck with whatever he’s doing now

        Looking at the readme edit history: https://github.com/dylanaraps/dylanaraps/commits/master/

        1. First edit 3 years ago: Away till the New Year. Merry Christmas.
        2. Then next edit 10 month ago replacing that line with: On hiatus.
        3. Then next edit 4 days ago replacing that line with: Have taken up farming.

        English is not my native language, and I don’t understand what “Have taken up farming.”, but I have my guesses. means. Normally I don’t interpret such a situation, but it doesn’t look good. Most contributions of the software is 3 years old, and only a few readme and link updates recently are made alongside making everything archived.

          It means they aren’t developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead
