A rewrite of the pfetch system information tool by dylanaraps in Rust
If you are familiar with the pfetch system information tool by dylanaraps, this does the exact same thing, but with an about 10x faster runtime. pfetch is simple by design with some (but not many) configuration options and a minimalistic look.

Benchmarks performed on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600. Execution time is measured using
hyperfine with -w 4 -m 500 -N flags
| Implementation | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] |
|---|---|---|---|
POSIX sh (bash) |
23.7 ± 0.9 | 22.3 | 29.3 |
POSIX sh (dash) |
15.9 ± 0.3 | 15.1 | 18.2 |
| Rust (v2.3.0) | 2.2 ± 0.2 | 1.8 | 3.9 |
Note: This is with pacman and flatpak being the only installed package
managers. For more info, see Improving Performance.
The by far slowest part of the pfetch execution time is counting the installed
packages. For most package managers this is still very fast, but there are some
(currently nix and zypper) that take ~500ms to report installed packages,
which takes away all performance benefits of the Rust version. If you have one
or more of these installed, you can skip counting them by setting the
PF_FAST_PKG_COUNT environment variable.
Like the original pfetch, pfetch-rs is configured through environment
variables. Your existing config will probably still work, the only difference is
how padding is configured.
If you want to display a custom logo, you will have to download the source code,
make your changes to ./pfetch-extractor/logos.sh and build the binary with
cargo b --release.
