Hi everyone! I have rewrote the fastfetch tool in Rust. The motivation behind is learning but also to provide an easy practice ground for new Rust developers. It uses the sysinfo crates mostly, but I am also using my humble crates for information that can't be retrieved from sysinfo. The code is very minimal on purpose (no CLI parsing, partial DE, OS support) so that others can contribute to the repository: https://github.com/SzilvasiPeter/minifetch.

Currently, there are 4 beginner friendly issues, although sub-issues can be created are highly recommended.

• Extend the Linux distro logo prints
• Add integration test cases for the display module
• Extend the theme detection with other Desktop Environment
• Implement cross-platform desktop environment detection

All issue difficulty is easy. There are lot of feature potential, however I'd like to start discussion and collaboration instead of dumping everything.

So if you are learning Rust and want to try out open-source contribution, don't hesitate and pick one of the issue.
