Failed to detect the Distro, WM.

[rm∅]

The particular problem is faced in Slackware, herbstluftwm was the WM used here. It would be nice if the software recognizes the WM and ignores the DE if only WM is installed. The slackware Ascii art is found in the original screenfetch.
Thank you. 😄

Could you tell me the contents of /etc/os-release?
Additionally, please look for a file named /etc/slackware-release or something similar (most likely in /etc). Using that for detecting slackware would be ideal.

Does screenfetch-c report herbstluftwm correctly?

Contents of /etc/os-release[image attached].

The Slackware version is found in a file name /etc/slackware-version.

2. Does screenfetch-c report herbstluftwm correctly?
   No. It doesn't.

d196e6c should fix the detection of Slackware.

2. Does screenfetch-c report herbstluftwm correctly?
   No. It doesn't.

Does it report anything at all? If not, what error message does it produce?

[William Woodruff]

It looks like herbstluftwm expects the user to set the value of the _NET_WM_NAME property manually.

https://github.com/herbstluftwm/herbstluftwm/blob/0c26a29512e311e81b74c6dae34a23bd2a892679/src/ewmh.cpp#L155:

void ewmh_update_wmname() {
    ewmh_set_wmname(settings_find_string("wmname"));
}

Setting the wmname property in herbstluftwm's configuration file to "herbstluftwm" (or whatever you want your WM to be called) should fix it. IIRC, XMonad has/had a similar problem with screenfetch-c (see #14).

Closing #19 (can be fixed in WM's configuration).
