nerdfetch's Issues

Fallback for os-release?

Our provider removed this file.

By the way

$ cat /proc/version

Runtime flags to choose between nerdfonts, phosphor, and cozette variants

Would eliminate the need for branches

Flatpak

There might be some weird distro that only uses flatpak so I'll add that as an option (note to self to do this later today)

[Improvement] [Help wanted] Fix uptime seconds

Currently, seconds are broken in uptime, not sure how to fix

Fonts

Hi, what directory/folder do the font files go please?

Thanks
Debian bookworm arm64

Debian packages?

even better is your dpkg-query -W | wc -l but it's not executed

Symbols not displaying correctly using Fira Code

Symbols not displaying correctly using Fira Code

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run nerdfetch with Fira Code fonts

Expected behavior
Some symbols representing the informations type should be displayed

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Arch Linux
• Install method: yay -S nerdfetch

What's the font in the screenshot?

Hope you don't mind the mildly-offtopic question, but: what's the font used in the screenshot of a terminal in the README?

Cheers!

Support for Pardus?

Hello dear developer. Can you add Pardus, please? Here is logo and here is how neofetch seems.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I saw apt right now. Sorry, my bad...

Distro ASCII

Will nerdfetch show ascii of distros?

NetBSD compatibility

./nerdfetch: 16: Syntax error: Bad substitution

see https://stackoverflow.com/a/20323801/1430535

Doesn't work with `nsh`

Is this not POSIX?

nsh: parse error:   --> 68:8
   |
68 | 		done << EOF
   | 		    ^---
   |
   = expected and_or_list_sep or compound_list_sep

Spaces of wc

Maybe you should trim them...

Slackware support?

Any chance you will add support for Slackware? :)

Thx!

Doesn't run on macOS

I tested the script on macOS 11.1.

The command sudo install -m755 nerdfetch /usr/bin/nerdfetch from manual installation instruction shows error install: /usr/bin/nerdfetch: Operation not permitted.

If instead I manually place it anywhere in the $PATH and try to run it I only see the error ./nerdfetch: line 8: /etc/os-release: No such file or directory.

When line 8 is commented, I see error cat: /proc/sys/kernel/hostname: No such file or directory followed by the desired output.

When lines 8 and 9 are commented, everything works correctly.
