## FAQ
Q: Why do you need a very performant version of neofetch?
> I like putting neofetch in my ~/.bashrc to have a system overview whenever I use the terminal, but the slow speed annoyed me, so I created this. Also neofetch didn't output everything correctly (e.g Font is displayed as "[Plasma], Noto Sans, 10 [GTK2/3]") and writing my own tool gave me the possibility to fine tune it to run perfectly on at least my configuration.
### Q: Neofetch is good enough. Why do I need fastfetch?
Q: It does not display [*] correctly for me, what can I do?
> This is most likely because your system is not implemented (yet). At the moment I am focusing more on making the core app better, than adding more configurations. Feel free to open a pull request if you want to add support for your configuration
1. Fastfetch is actively maintained.
2. Fastfetch is faster. As the name suggests.
3. Fastfetch is more feature-rich. By default fastfetch only has a few modules enabled. Use `fastfetch -c all` to find what you want.
4. Fastfetch is more configurable. You can find more information in the Wiki: <https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration>
5. Fastfetch is more polished. For example, neofetch prints `555MiB` in `Memory` module and `23G` in `Disk` module (notibily the difference of `MiB` and `G`), while fastfetch prints `555.00 MiB` and `22.97 GiB` respectively.
6. Fastfetch is more accurate. For example, [neofetch never actually supports Wayland protocol](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/pull/2395).
### Q: Fastfetch shows my local IP address. It leaks my privacy!
The local IP has nothing to do with privacy. [See discussion here](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/issues/923)
Actually the `Local IP` module is the most useful module for me personally. I (@CarterLi) have several VMs installed to test fastfetch and often need to SSH into them. I have fastfetch running on shell startup and I never need to type `ip addr` manually.
If you really don't like it, you can disable the `Local IP` module in `config.jsonc`.
### Q: Where is the config file? I can't find it.
`Fastfetch` don't generate config file automatically. You can use `fastfetch --gen-config` to generate one. The config file is saved in `~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc` by default. See [Wiki for detail](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Configuration).
### Q: The configuration is so complex. Where is the documentation?
[Here is the documentation](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Json-Schema), but too long don't read. Instead, use an IDE with JSON schema support (like VSCode) to edit it.
Alternatively, you can refer to the presets in [`presets` directory](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/tree/dev/presets).
### Q: I have my own ascii-art / image file. How can I show it with fastfetch?
Try `fastfetch -l /path/to/logo`. See [logo documentation](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Logo-options) for detail.
### Q: I have questions. Where can I get help?
* For usage questions, please start a discussion in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/discussions).
* For possible bugs, please open an issue in [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/issues). Be sure to fill the bug-report template carefully for developers to investigate.
