• I have checked the FAQ but the issue is not covered

Description

The first field for OS in fastfetch is currently showing OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll x86_64
but it used to include the release version as well like OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed-Slowroll 20250302 x86_64.

Not sure with which update this issue happened but it's recent (a few weeks).
I'm not using a custom fastfetch config or any mods.

It's expected. After v2.34.0 we print only pretty name in OS module by default.

Please try fastfetch -s os --os-format '{pretty-name} {version-id} {arch}'

I'm guessing the new default behavior would print Debian Bookworm for OS with pretty names? 🤔
For rolling release distros such as openSUSE Tumbleweed without such names, could you consider printing the version string by default, otherwise it's confusing 🥺
