On FreeBSD you have a configuration file /home/user/.config/neofetch/config.conf
You can (easily) modify this file so that neofetch looks exactly like the pfetch in your screenshot.

I know that, in fact that's what I used to do. Though, I just prefer not touching config files if there is already a solution that works perfectly instead.

One part of this transition was to get the AMD fTPM to decrypt LUKS for me, and fortunately it's not that hard;

Needing most apps to be flatpak isn't so bad, except when you need non-boot drive access that can be a pain.

To avoid moving the mouse from one corner to the other I added a second "Start Menu" and a second Task Manager on the right dock. In the middle is the dock with the most used apps.

On a custom system I built two years ago. I recently upgraded the RAM and the CPU. I just bought a Samsung 980 Pro, but I haven't installed it yet because I'm kinda dreading having to remove and repaste my massive cooler (NH-D15). If I had a normal CPU and a normal cooler, I would have a much easier time, but I went with the awesome CPU and and the awesome cooler.

Installed an SSD in my Mac Pro for OS X and accidentally nuked my Ubuntu install, so reinstalled and rebuilt. Just the latest Ubuntu with Gnome and a few extensions. I try to keep the install as close to vanilla as possible. The only real change is I'm running X11, instead of Wayland, because Wayland doesn't yet support color calibration.

And running only on a Mac, else I don't see the point.
Here is a 68040 Quadra 800 running NetBSD 9.2 and hosting CircleMud to an Atari 800XL. The Mac is also on the internet with the Dillo browser.

This is a Mac forum, and how interesting is it to see screenshots from a PC where it is not a challenge at all to get BSD/Linux running?
Give it a rest. The topic doesn't say Linux/BSD screenshots on a Mac only.
NixOS on a 2010 Mac Mini (via SSH). Having a declarative OS is nice, as is the support for rolling back versions of the OS
