[BUG] Segfault when building CPU name without BIOS Vendor ID available #718
Description
General description of bug:
- What happened:
fastfetchcrashes when trying to construct the CPU name, when it cannot findBIOS Vendor IDin the output oflscpu(which happens when run without root privileges). - What should happen: Should not crash.
- Did it work in an older version: No
- Where did you get the binary: Built from source
- Does this issue still occurs in the latest dev build? Yes
Often helpful information:
Screenshot:
The content of the configuration file you use (if any): None
Output of fastfetch -c ci.jsonc --format json: This command segfaults without root privileges, output with root:

The issue is due to the fact that the output of lscpu does not contain the BIOS Vendor ID field when run without root privileges. This means that fastfetch does not crash when run with root privileges, but it does crash when run without root.
