v1.0-RC1

newofetch v1.0-RC1

First release candidate of newofetch — a minimal, dependency-free system information tool written in C for Linux.

This version is feature-complete for the initial 1.0 release and focuses on stability, correctness, and clean output.

Features

• OS detection (from /etc/os-release)
• Kernel version
• Hostname and current user
• System uptime
• CPU model detection
• GPU detection via /sys (no external tools)
• RAM usage
• Disk usage (root)
• Installed package count
  • dpkg / apt
  • pacman
  • rpm / dnf
• Shell and terminal detection

Design goals

• fast execution
• zero external dependencies
• pure C implementation
• minimal output
• Linux-first

Known limitations

• GPU detection may be generic on some systems
• Package count depends on available package manager database
• No colors or logos yet (planned for future releases)
• Linux only

What “RC1” means

This is a release candidate for version 1.0.
Core functionality is considered complete, but small improvements and fixes may still land before the final 1.0 tag.

Next steps

• CLI flags
• optional colors
• distro logo support
• performance tuning
• packaging (deb / tar)
