oxidefetch 1.0.1

Fully cross platform Neofetch clone written in Rust. Up to 25 times faster than Neofetch!

Why Oxidefetch?

Neofetch, being a BASH script, has a few downsides in my opinion.
1: It's slow.
2: It only works on platforms which have the BASH shell.
3: It's kinda big, and I like having more compact info.
As such, I wrote OxideFetch. How cool is that? It displays your information in a manner that's compact, and BLAZINGLY fast. I've measured speeds of up to 25 times faster than normal Neofetch on WSL2.

Dependencies (Build/Install)

To build Oxidefetch, you need Cargo. You can use Cargo to automatically build and install it like so: cargo install --git https://github.com/shibedrill/oxidefetch.
From there, it should be in your PATH. If not, add ~/.cargo/bin to your PATH. If you do not already have Cargo installed on your system, you can do so by installing Rustup- either via the instructions on their website or via your system package manager.

Dependencies (Runtime)

There's only a couple runtime dependencies for this project.
1: bash shell installed for GPU detection on Linux/Unix/mac.
2: lspci installed for GPU detection on Linux/Unix/mac.
(If either of these above dependencies are absent, chances are the GPU field will simply not show up. It won't crash or anything.
GPU detection runs on Windows without any dependencies.)
3: Nerd fonts symbols are used in the output. Install a patched font on your system, or patch an already installed font.

How you can help with the project

I need to verify the output of the OS information detection libraries I'm pulling in. To do this, I need the help of people with varying types of systems. I've tested Arch Linux and Windows 10, but nothing else. To help, you can kindly clone this repo, and inside the folder, run cargo test -- --nocapture, and send the resultant test_output.txt file to my noreply email address, or directly to me on Discord at Shibe Drill#9730. This program does NOT collect information regarding your real name, IP, location, etc. You can look at the file it generates to be sure- it's all plaintext, babey.
