System Info: Replace Neofetch with Fastfetch

[sonic2kk]

Adds Fastfetch; a commandline utility for pretty-printing system information across Linux distributions (and other operating systems as well). The capitalization I used for Fastfetch was taken from the project's README.

It is similar to Neofetch, but that project was discontinued some months ago. Fastfetch seems to be the recommended replacement (I have been using it as a replacement on my Arch system for a while now), although it should be noted that it is an entirely different project that was not explicitly created to replace Neofetch, it has simply become the de-facto replacement. For this reason, I opted to remove Neofetch and brand this PR as replacing it with Fastfetch, all in the same PR.

Fastfetch is FOSS (available on GitHub), licensed under the terms of the MIT license.

I would leave it, and mention it's discontinued, and people should look at Fastfetch

[ccoVeille]

Neofetch was supporting bunch of OS.

I didn't check at fastfetch, but I would expect to list a few of them if the number of OS is smaller.

This could be another reason to keep Neofetch listed also.

Discontinued doesn't mean broken, it means it's not maintained, but it works (for now, and probably a few more years)

[sonic2kk]

I can't speak to the difference in respect to OS support, and while I agree that discontinued doesn't mean broken, is there not precedent for removing archived / discontinued projects? For example, #741 which removed projects that no longer work due to API changes (namely, Twitter) but also removed Atom, which may still work, but is archived. A search of PRs for "discontinued" yields more PRs that removed discontinued software, in some cases where the repository was archived and in others where the website was unreachable (#752).

Having said that, some distributions, such as Arch Linux, still package Neofetch, to my surprise.

I can keep it if there is preference to keep discontinued software in general, perhaps with a caveat that it is discontinued, or if we want to make a special exception here. Neofetch does seem like a bit of an edge-case where it was not discontinued due to a third-party change (e.g. an API change) or slowly phased out (e.g. Atom) so keeping Neofetch with a caveat could be more of an exception rather than adhering to a guideline about how to include software.

Not trying to be argumentative, simply justifying the rationale for removing it based on prior PRs for similar cases, but I can understand if we might want to make an exception for Neofetch.

Some opinion:

• this list does not try to be a museum and I would rather focus on putting an app that both works and is maintained up there rather than trying to keep track of all software ever created.
• we should not retain the old archived listing when there is a newer and maintained fork. While I agree that "Discontinued doesn't mean broken", that is a deduction rather than explicit point on the homepage of neofetch. And checkout the list of issues or issue like this clearly shows that this software is far from being complete
• the multiple OS support is a valid argument, but as long as fast fetch has official linux installation option, it is already qualified (let alone they support multiple distributions already and are only missing a few others)

Therefore, I am ok with replacing the old one
