Why should this be included in the repository?

Fastfetch is a neofetch-like tool for fetching system information and displaying them in a pretty way. It is written mainly in C, with performance and customizability in mind. Currently, Linux, Android, FreeBSD, MacOS and Windows 7+ are supported.

Given that it is written in C, it actually performs significantly faster than neofetch. It also reports back more information than neofetch.

Additionally, Fastfetch is actively being maintained with the latest v2.21.0 being released on 3 days ago where the last version of neofetch was released on 2nd August 2020 so could be considered unmaintained / abandoned.

Are we allowed to redistribute it?

MIT
What kind of user will use this package, and how many users do you think will use this package?

I'm not sure exactly how many users would use fastfetch but the type of user who would use neofetch would use fastfetch.
