Hi, I just found out that this will break the normal use of neofetch. I am a Bookworm user, and currently, Bookworm does not provide fastfetch for the time being, but it is available in the Trixie/Testing and newer branches. This will result in not being able to use neofetch after apt install neofetch:

~# neofetch
-bash: fastfetch: command not found

I have to use neofetch like this:

~# /usr/bin/neofetch 
        #####           root@nanopi-r2s 
       #######          --------------- 
       ##O#O##          OS: Armbian-unofficial 25.02.0-trunk bookworm aarch64 
       #######          Host: FriendlyElec NanoPi R2S 
     ###########        Kernel: 6.12.6-current-rockchip64 
    #############       Uptime: 18 mins 
   ###############      Packages: 318 (dpkg) 
   ################     Shell: bash 5.2.15 
  #################     Terminal: /dev/pts/0 
#####################   CPU: (4) @ 1.296GHz 
#####################   Memory: 114MiB / 975MiB 
  #################

We may need a less radical approach? Perhaps waiting for Bookworm to officially launch fastfetch is a better choice.

By the way, If I have any problems with what I said or if my understanding of this issue is incorrect, please correct me. Thank you for any answers or criticisms!

That could take months.

Anyway we are providing fastfetch in our repository:
https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/external/fastfetch.conf

Should be present in: bookworm, jammy, ...

Edit: but its not. Its present in beta repository, not in stable.

Yep, so it's perhaps not very suitable for Bookworm to alias Neofetch to Fastfetch this early I think? Especially since this is the current stable version :)
