@Bret,

Thank you for sharing your suggestion to streamline the Fastfetch installation process! Your modified commands look efficient, and the additional caution about Fastfetch displaying the local IP address is very important for privacy. Including that warning would indeed be a valuable update for users.

Great catch!

I have a simple modification to the installation instructions for Fastfetch on Ubuntu-based distributions. My suggestion should also work for other packages, and I believe it may slightly improve the efficiency of the process.

Original Instructions:

To install Fastfetch on Ubuntu-based distributions, you need to use the following PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zhangsongcui3371/fastfetch
sudo apt update
sudo apt install fastfetch

My Suggested Modification:

To install Fastfetch on Ubuntu-based distributions, use the following command sequence:

sudo -i
add-apt-repository ppa:zhangsongcui3371/fastfetch
apt update
apt install fastfetch

I have tested my slightly modified command sequence, and it worked successfully.

Additionally, at How-To Geek, there is an important caution:

Fastfetch displays your local IP address as well, so be careful when sharing your Fastfetch information screenshots with others.

Including this warning in the instructions for Fastfetch would be a valuable addition.
