    ramfetch is a fetch tool which displays memory info using /proc/meminfo i made back in christmas 2022 (i was around 11 years old at the time, currently 13) it got pretty popular on this sub and also some other subs aswell, it got 900 votes on this sub and 797+ votes on another sub too (specifically this post https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/11hwqnb/oc_ramfetch_with_some_new_stuff/) ,but i decided to remove it since i kinda thought it was dead, but i brought it back with a new version and config file…

      that would be awesome but i can’t seem to get ram speed from /proc/meminfo or other files (i tried to look files in /sys and other directories for the ram speed) since they aren’t there so i dont think i can really add that… i tried to look online too but they seem to use lshw/dmidecode which i don’t really wanna use

    Looks pretty neat.

    Is there a way to have it run like a ram statistics monitor? I’d love to have this running in a terminal window to monitor my ram statistics.

      i think you can use watch -c bash ramfetch, also i released an update which rewrites the whole parsing part of ramfetch which makes it more accurate and faster

        you shouldn’t need the bash if you have a proper shebang

    Nice, any hope of an AUR update? The older package is still there, but hasn’t been updated in over 8 months for the -git version, 2 years for stable.

        Oh, I’ve just noticed it is a singular bash script? I don’t think you need to go through the trouble of creating a .deb repo/ppa then. I was just a bit worried about the installation process.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
