About Macchina

Macchina is a fetching program, not a library.

Macchina lets you view basic system information, like your hostname, kernel, uptime, memory usage, and much more. It provides you with convenient features and customization options but doesn't lose sight of its two main priorities: minimalism and performance.

Dependencies

• wmctrl to print your window manager
• If you're on Gentoo, you'll want to install:
  • portage-utils to see package count
• If you're on NetBSD, you'll want to install:
  • ripgrep to see battery information

Benchmarks

Macchina is pretty fast, see for yourself!

• Execution time is measured using hyperfine

| Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | macchina | 42.6 ± 0.5 | 41.8 | 45.2 | 1.00 | | neofetch | 371.1 ± 3.0 | 366.4 | 379.9 | 8.71 ± 0.13 |

Summary: macchina runs 8.71 ± 0.13 times faster than neofetch

• Note that hiding elements with --hide significantly improves speed
