[BUG] swap reported as disabled when it is just zero and unused (macOS) #2248
Description
Read the FAQ first
- I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered
Description
On macOS (unsure about other systems), the swap is reported as disabled when in fact, it is simply not used.
Labeling it as disabled is quite misleading in my opinion. It should rather display that zero bytes are used.
Running fastfetch -s swap:
Actual output:
Swap: Disabled
Expected output:
Swap: 0B # or Unused
The relevant part from the system information is:
