Neofetch returns the output of "gnome-shell --version" while I believe
that gnome-control-center (Settings) looks at the file
/usr/share/gnome/gnome-version.xml. On my 20.04.03 system, "gnome-shell
--version" reports 3.36.9 which is what Neofetch shows. However,
gnome-control-center shows 3.36.8 which is what the gnome-version.xml
file lists. I dunno why they're not in sync.

I would say that what "gnome-shell --version" reports --hence, neofetch
-- is the accurate DE version.
