I'm really enjoying Pop!_OS, but their logo could use some workshopping imo. I've been considering trying an upstream distro as an educational experience anyway, yet somehow this is what I'm feeling excited about. I don't know why - nobody but me is ever going to see my neofetch output. Lol
(NixOS isn't really in the running... I just wanted a 3rd example and like the logo)
Get spiraled idiot
Thank God you censored your local IP, don't want hackers to find out it's 192.168.1.45
A-BAPBAPBAPBA. Not so loud!
That, my good friend, is an amazing onomatopoeia
Thank you
The spiral is calling me

"This is my Distro! It was made for me!"
Debb..Debbb
edit : shit I mixed up my junji ito references
You can just use a distrobox ...
The package manager isn't that much of a reason to choose a distro anymore.
Neofetch is not maintained anymore. I can recommend fastfetch.
I thought I'd read that somewhere. I haven't had an issue with neofetch yet, but I suppose I should switch.
Fastfetch is better than neofetch, and it can look the same:
fastfetch -c neofetch
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, I like to put it in my .zshrc file so it comes up whenever I open the terminal, but I had some formatting issues until I changed it to this:
fastfetch --pipe false -c neofetch
Yeah, Neo is dead and no longer developed or supported.
Fast is fantastic and actively developed.
Disagree, nix is a lot better than standard package managers. For one, you can have packages installed that rely on different dependecy versions
Is nix already "normie" compatible? It has to become much easier.
I really like home manager but even that is too difficult right now.
Same for flatpak, it's on a good path but there is still lots of room for improvement
Garuda dr46nized has a pretty fetch by default on its console.
Ok that's going to be hard to beat
That looks badass
How do you even compete with a snowflake made of lambdas? NixOS could be your final distro.
Until you find out that the configuration file syntax is like swift and Haskell had a baby.
Damn, I didn't notice they were made out of lambdas. Guess I need to switch to NixOS
Fulltime Linux user since 2001 or so. Tried so many distros....
I have never once used neofetch. I never really understood why anyone does, but maybe I am missing out....
But if you find a distro you like that makes your neofetch look cool, post it here, I will give you a view so you aren't the only one seeing it!
Why do people use neofetch anyway?
pretty
Sure, but I don't understand the purpose.
Do people frequently forget their OS/specs?
Or is it just a thing people use to brag about their specs in screenshots?
Or is it just a thing people use to brag about their specs in screenshots?
Yes.
I think it's just a thing people like to look at. Some people like the optics of technical specs, and neofetch makes it look pretty.
Technically they should be using fastfetch now.
If your logo isnt cool enough consider hyfetch :3
debian when you need image for your docker, nixos when you need stability and reproducibility, arch when you...
i have no idea actually, why arch?
so you can say "I use Arch BTW"
i like watching the little pacmans install software for me
Arch is great for gaming. Also, if you're familiar with how Linux works, Arch pretty much gets out of your way. Just have btrfs with snapper for rolling back any mistakes. (Although, I've only had to do that once in the last 5 years or so on Arch. And I was trying to replace the graphics driver, so kinda on me.)
The coolest I've seen? Artix of course!
(There's also Kali, but it's disqualified because A: not a daily driver distro, and B: dragons are automatically the coolest thing ever)
"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear"
(don't know why it's green)
I had actually made this meme with Kali first, then called an audible and replaced it with NixOS. Dragons are cool.
Most of the *fetches (and clones by other names) have an option for showing a different distro's logo without having to go through any major changes. neofetch, moribund though it is, has --ascii_distro for that purpose (Weird choice of an underscore in an option. Most programs use more hyphens to separate words in long options).
This did get me to install screenfetch (superseded by plain old fetch but realised that too late for this comment), cpufetch (a year old, still in active development) and archey4 (likewise) after I did a bit of research on similar programs though, so maybe the sirens got me one way or the other.
neofetch is pretty but it is slower than the alternatives: pfetch, fastfetch....etc. I either use those 2 or no fetch whatsoever: I want my terminal pops up and is ready to type.
Why should something like neofetch be faster? Like it just print 1 time and that is...or do people execute it at the terminal opening?
You can customize the logo. Raspberry Pi OS displays as Debian by default but you can force it to be the Raspberry Pi logo.
I want to do the Nix thing so bad. It's tempting me but I don't have any time for that.
Neither did I. Now I just don't have time for sleep.
Personally I like fastfetch with dacrabs tweaks.
In terms of distributions, I'm not a good example of "so cool!". Its pretty much just Debian. Stable for servers (with proxmox mostly), stable for my main desktop, two machines with Trixie and Sid respectively, then two test boxes with arch and endeavouros (for laziness purposes).
I like LMDE as a rec for others, though I prefer it with KDE which is no longer explicitly supported, so meh.
For family, if I'm doing it, its Deb stable all the way. Even my htpc's are deb stable.
I recommend HyFetch because pride
Gentoo or bust
