About Fetch
Fetch is a terminal system-info tool that renders an ASCII distribution logo as a rotating 3D relief next to live system information. It converts each logo character into a point cloud based on visual density and renders it with rotation, projection, shading, and a z-buffer. It is written as single-file C with no dependencies beyond libm.
It auto-detects the distribution and uses its logo from fastfetch if installed, preserving original colors, and supports fastfetch's 500+ logos. A logo can also be specified with -l or supplied as ~/.config/fetch/logo.txt; without fastfetch it uses a built-in Gentoo logo. System details are gathered natively and memory, battery, and uptime update in real time.
