This repo takes the [official fastfetch binaries ](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/releases) and turns them into an AppImage.
4+
5+
No libraries or other dependencies are bundled in, since the official binaries are already portable enough.

# Why should I use this?
10+
11+
You get the following advantages:
12+
13+
* Easy integration into the system using AppImage integration tools like [AM](https://github.com/ivan-hc/AM), [soar](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/soar), [dbin](https://github.com/xplshn/dbin) and others.
14+
15+
* Less storage usage since the AppImage sits compressed on disk while the tarball has to be extracted.
16+
17+
* The ability to easily have a [portable home/config](https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/portable-mode.html) dir together with the application, with tarballs you have to make some ugly wrapper scripts instead.
18+
19+
* Delta updates with [AppImageUpdate](https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate). This means **you don't download the entire application again with an update, but only the diff.** Also see our [fork](https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/AppImageUpdate-Enhanced-Edition) used by AM.
20+
21+
* It uses the [uruntime](https://github.com/VHSgunzo/uruntime), which makes this AppImage able to work without FUSE on the host at all, **as well as have startup time as fast as if the binary was extracted on the system.**
