[BUG] why do fastfetch and neofetch show different memory ammount being used about fastfetch HOT 9 CLOSED

I can't reproduce it. Both fastfetch and neofetch use MemAvailable if available.

What version of fastfetch did you use?

from fastfetch.

Seems fastfetch was correct?

from fastfetch.

Just found that the change introduced MemAvailable (Nov 3, 2020) in neofetch was committed after the latest release was cut (Aug 3, 2020)

That's it.
