All those bits of hardware and software detection, logos, distros, interfacing with the different system information, it’s all an ongoing effort. It’s essentially shooting at a constantly moving target.
EDIT: Looking at the fastfetch (1) man page, it looks like it supports Sixel, Kitty Graphics Protocol, and 24-bit color, though given that it doesn’t use them on foot, I assume that it doesn’t try to detect terminals that support them and use them by default.
Doesn’t ship with Unicode distro logos either, but it apparently supports user-specified logo files, so I imagine that one could obtain a Unicode logo from somewhere and use that.
EDIT2: Yeah, doesn’t detect and auto-use them on kitty either.
EDIT3: Oh, wait. neofetch has to support some kind of graphics protocol too, even if it doesn’t use it for the distro logos, since you can see it using it for the sexy anime girl on the example image on the GitHub project page:
Neofetch is no longer in active development. Use Hyfetch or Archey instead.
Or fastfetch
I use fastfetch.
What about fastfetch? I’ve been a happy user for a while.
What is it that will need additional development?

It could support Unicode distro logos. Or sixel. Or Kitty Graphics Protocol. It could try rendering text using 24-bit color, rather than just the 16 ANSI colors.
