Fastfetch 2.70 brings significant changes, including the removal of libpulse and libddcutil dependencies for Linux users and a new ALSA fallback for audio modules.
On Android, the tool now utilizes Binder for device detection without requiring extra permissions.
Additionally, the release improves Snapdragon X1/X2 CPU recognition and addresses various reporting bugs across Windows and macOS 27.
Changes to Linux and Android

On Android, Fastfetch now recognizes devices without asking for additional permissions from the user. Additionally, the section showing battery status now provides more details, such as temperature and charging type.
