However, wrapped lines may overlap with the image logo. Users who prefer the old behavior can restore it by setting display.disableLinewrap: true in their configuration file or by launching Fastfetch with the &#8211;disable-linewrap true option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the hardware side, this release adds CPU code name and manufacturing technology detection for x86 processors. Fastfetch can now show information such as \u201cAlder Lake,\u201d \u201cZen 4,\u201d \u201cIntel 7,\u201d or \u201cTSMC N4,\u201d depending on the processor. These details are also available for custom output formats through the new {code-name} and {technology} fields.<\/p>\n<p>Fastfetch 2.65 System Information Tool<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GPU detection gets an upgrade, too, as Fastfetch 2.65 can now detect PCIe link speed information on Linux and Windows, including current and maximum generation and lane data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding display detection, the release adds HDR display detection through the wp-color-management-v1 Wayland protocol. Until now, Fastfetch\u2019s HDR detection was limited to KDE Plasma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of KDE, Fastfetch 2.65 also improves display detection compatibility with KDE Plasma 6.7. Display serial number detection has been refined, with Fastfetch now preferring alphanumeric serial numbers when available. The detected serial value can be used in custom formats via the new {serial} field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, there are several smaller Linux-related additions. Fastfetch can now detect the Weston compositor version, add terminal version and font detection for kmscon, and introduce package manager support for porg and install-release. Gentoo users should benefit from improved performance when detecting packages through emerge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another improvement concerns the&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/fastfetch-2-65-system-information-tool-brings-better-hardware-detection-on-linux\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fastfetch 2.65 System Information Tool Brings Better Hardware Detection on Linux https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/fastfetch-2-65-system-information-tool-brings-better-hardware-detection-on-linux\/ Publish Date: 2026-06-26&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":282202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/linuxiac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/fastfetch265.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[92,71],"class_list":["post-282200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-gentoo","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282200"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282200"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282200\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":282204,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282200\/revisions\/282204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282200"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282200"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282200"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
