Hi!
I’m the creator of Macchina, a basic system information fetching tool, it’s a minimal take on Neofetch, comes with multiple built-in themes and arguments to allow you to change its looks and behavior on the fly!
I first introduced it on this very website, and the feedback I got made me push through the times Macchina made me want to punch myself in the face, but I made the right decision to choose Rust for this little project of mine, because Rust made me enjoy programming again!
Sorry for replying so late! Here are some key differences:
macchina
only shows elements and nothing else. All other elements such as bars, shorthand values, padding, spacing, themes etc. can be adjusted on the fly using command line arguments (so you don’t have to settle with any defaults and it doesn’t use a config file)FreshFetch from the screenshots that I’ve checked out, looks very close to Neofetch, and that’s not really the point with my program. What I’m trying to do with Macchina is to set it apart while keeping it familiar.
Macchina is pretty stable on Linux systems, but I’m currently working to support other platforms, starting with NetBSD.
