Speedfetch

A fast, pretty system info fetcher for Linux terminals with RGB gradient ASCII logos.

Features

• 78 authentic ASCII logos from fastfetch
• Per-distro gradient colors matched to each distro family (Arch blue-cyan, Fedora blue-aqua, Ubuntu orange-red, etc.)
• Aligned label columns for clean, readable output
• Panels: System, Session, Hardware, Display
• Output formats: terminal display, JSON, TOML
• Static gradient rendering — beautiful colors, no animation overhead
• Bare mode (--no-logo) for minimal output with aligned labels
• Export to file via --save
• Color control (--color auto|always|never)
