#neofetch

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Currently playing around with two thingies at the moment:
1) Playing around with the #Cinnamon DE (plain Cinnamon, not the Ubuntu altered version) on the #OrangePiRV2. So far things are looking good AND Chromium works (at least on the #Wayland session; have not tested the #Xorg session).

2) I found a spare external ssd drive that I am testing out #GnomeOS with my main PC. It looks interesting; some decisions they made seem a bit odd...

Oh here is a cursory screenshot of the Orange Pi running Cinnamon. Also, this was written on the Orange Pi too! (see if you can spot the typos in my screenshot)

#Neofetch

Each time I ssh into my #selfhosting server, #neofetch runs. I use it as it gives useful system stats (free mem / disk usage, etc).

However I got sick of the OS logo on the left. A quick online search, a change to a file hidden somewhere in my home dir, and I now get a random ascii creature giving me a random quote.

The comments in the file are a bit misleading. What you need is

image_source="$(fortune | cowsay -r -W 30)"

The *-r* does the random cartoon creature bit.

Have fun 🤠

I just knew before even trying that such an option would be available lol, I know #Linux/#FOSS devs too well - to those who've been reluctant to replace #Neofetch with #Fastfetch just bcos you prefer the shorter, simpler output of Neo rather than the busy defaults of Fastfetch, you could run the following to have Fastfetch display outputs similar to what Neofetch offers OOTB:

fastfetch -c neofetch

Set an alias like the following, and you're golden:
alias neofetch='fastfetch -c neofetch'

That way you could have the exact same behaviour as Neofetch, but with the instant response time of Fastfetch. You can now peacefully uninstall the long deprecated, Neofetch - RIP o7
