You could try doing something like "source": "$(pyfiglet -s -f slant --color=BLUE Fedora)" under logo. However, I haven't been able to make other commands work this way, despite the documentation saying that you can do command substitutions. So my suggestion is to copy and paste the text you get from the command into a .txt file and save it somewhere where you'll know where it's at (~/.config/fastfetch/logo.txt). Then, add in "source": "~/.config/fastfetch/logo.txt" and add in "type": "file" under logo. I will give you links to go to for all of this in this comment. It shows you two ways to go about adding in the source file, plus it tells you how to get the colors you want: github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Logo-options th-cam.com/users/shortsOM8AsMhTNvY github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/wiki/Migrate-Neofetch-Logo-To-Fastfetch

@@ImZipux Okay thx i did the second option thanks for helping

No problem! Glad I could help in some way.

Yeah it's like I get why they do it, but I just don't personally like when they do it.

Yes, I noticed it was much easier to cycle through tags as well by having padding on the sides.

Yeah, whatever works for you for sure. Sometimes, it's better to go to something arch based for up to date drivers.

@@ImZipux I do love them all though! I had fedora on my laptop before I sold it, and have Mint on my Mini PC which is flawless there! It all depends on the use case for me!

You're welcome! Thanks for the work you do on TH-cam.

According to trunk, runit is the only thing available out of the two. I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what I was running that day because I didn't really know what I was doing then. I was privileged to have got it running lol. But to answer your question, runit is on trunk, but I didn't find openrc.

So I just uploaded a short, specifically on how to do this, which can be found right here: th-cam.com/users/shortsOM8AsMhTNvY Basically, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want the default ASCII Logo (your distro's ASCII Logo) or do you want your own? If you want the default, use builtin as the type in the logo section of your config.jsonc file. If you want your own, logo, you'll have to make it or find a way to have it made and then save it as a .txt file, and then you'll do "fastfetch --logo /path/to/file.txt". If you want this to happen every time you open a command prompt, just copy and paste that line into your .bashrc file.

I use cava as my audio visualizer.

@@ImZipux thanks, it looks very smooth

No problem and thank you as well. I configured it a little bit to get it that way. Feel free to use my dotfiles on cava, if you need a starting base, or wanting it to look just like that.

@@ImZipux thanks! i will

Thank you very much for that. This is, indeed, specifically for Media Transfer Protocol. From my understanding of how this all works, using a Mass Storage Protocol or adb gives you more control over what you can access on your device; things that can literally make or break your system. I choose Media Transfer Protocol because I don't need to access anything but things like my Documents, Music, Pictures, etc type of folders. Plus, I don't really know much about using it as a Mass Storage Protocol or adb and I'm afraid that I would brick my device, if I tried it. And I don't have the money to replace it if I screw up something along the way. This would be for someone that could mount and unmount their device, but want to keep it simple and not have access to everything within their device, or for someone (like me) who don't want to screw up anything. But as I said before, using a Mass Storage Protocol or adb will give you more control over your device, and you can choose to go with those methods, if you need to access more than just your media folders and files.

@@ImZipux ah my family will soon find out they can't use Google Images anymore, since I've deGoogled us! Perhaps this command could backup their stuff whenever they plug a phone in to a pc, which would let me switch off debugging mode... flowchart time... ^^

Well the command just gives you access to the files via the PC. Just as a heads up, you still have to back them up to a HDD or something like that, if you're going to back up their files. I just didn't want you to think it would just automatically back it up because it's only meant to give it access, not to actually backup anything on its own.

Hey, thanks for watching! Yes, if you found it useful, please do feel free to copy what I did.

You are welcome :)

Thank you, thank you :)

Thank you for your comment. It never got updated anywhere in this video, but I talked about this more in-depth in a TH-cam Short and updated my code in GitHub to reflect this because someone had asked me about it previously. The short can be found here if you're interested: th-cam.com/users/shorts0d-q_rgKoGM.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I try to make my tutorials in a way that people can understand it, because coding can be a challenge for a lot of people. I try to simplify that process.

KDE Discover, or Gnome Software fixes this issue.

I've never used Vivaldi before, but I've been hearing about how good some of the features are. I would personally use a fork of Firefox, if not Firefox itself. But I will say that you gotta go with what you're comfortable with. If you're concerned about privacy, you need to go with what you feel will give you the most privacy, and not listen to those that want you to be on what they're on. Everyone's different and is on a different path.

Fair enough. I don't know what per site isolation is, but you gotta do what's best for you.

Yeah, and that's how I am. I don't want to run anything Chromium-based. I don't like the political stuff either.

My point was never about politics not being relevant to tech, nor was it about disentangling tech politics. Tech politics was not what I had an issue with, as it could be relevant to the conversation about tech, though I personally wouldn't want to discuss even those politics. I just don't want to watch a video about AwesomeWM and someone getting into their conservative views about general politics. That's inappropriate for the video, as it's not what it's about. Again, it's not tech politics I'm concerned about. It's anything else that's political that doesn't belong.

@@ImZipux ohh, okay. That makes sense.

I've never used Vivaldi, so I don't know anything about how their workspaces work. But it sounds like a really cool feature to have.

Though I highly disagree with you in places, I overall appreciate your comment. Culture is not an excuse to act in the ways that they do. My suggestion: they should touch grass. This does not discourage me whatsoever. In fact, it challenges me and gives me a reason to say "I did it on my own". That I never expressed in the video, but it is how I feel on the matter. I was speaking, in terms of others who have to go through RTFM. But I've dealt with this in the coding community as well, so I'm not new to it. Though I'm sure your intentions are in the right place, the alternatives bit just simply isn't true. Arch people complain when someone isn't using vanilla Arch and then they wanna gatekeep when they do switch but they're not "doing it right". The one thing I will agree with you on is that not everyone that uses Arch is toxic. The answer is not to stay away from Arch, but for Arch users to do better and for us to call them out when they're being lazy (amongst other things) by using RTFM on someone.

True, true.

Thank you. I appreciate your support.

I'm watching this video from Firefox. But Mozilla is increasingly moving away from her former ideals. Neither quality nor ideal feels like a lose-lose situation.

As someone not up to date on this debate, can you elaborate?

Yes, exactly my point. While I use DuckDuckGo, I can recognize that Google is the best. Every search engine has its flaws, and it's just a matter of what you're willing to put up with.

DDG is mostly on a par with Google.

Yes, Firefox is definitely customizable in those ways. It's why I like using Firefox. But if the goal is to become more minimal and not so bloated, I completely understand not wanting to run Firefox. There are some things that I don't find useful about Firefox, personally. But for me, I do a lot of customization to it to where I don't see those things that I don't want to see (like, pocket, for example). If I were to switch to something else, it would just be a fork of Firefox. I don't know how much different things would be, but there's just things I rely on Firefox for, as a browser. I've used OperaGX before, and it was good, until it lost all of my bookmarks. The save button did not take affect when I hit it and it erased everything. That's my biggest issue with Opera; I'm still burned from that experience.

@@ImZipux Ouch. Losing all the bookmarks? Yeah, I'd kick that browser to the curb as well.

If your goal is to counter “much bloat” then you probably shouldn’t be using the browser that is just chrome + extra spyware

Really embodying the accelerationist mindset, going to the most bloated browser possible to "own" Firefox

If you want privacy then don’t use opera, idc if you use firefox or brave or anything else, just keep away from opera

Firefox is great! 😁

​@@ImZipux I have been using Firefox since around 2005. I just haven't seen a need to move. I have tried chrome and I just don't get on with it.

I wouldn't worry about it then. If you're content with Firefox, just stay with Firefox. Use what you know you're comfortable with.

@@ImZipux I aren't worried. I just ot funny we get these arguments trotted out every so often. Also, can you see my comment in the thread? I seem to be having issues seeing my replies in the thread.

I just see the one comment, other than your response just now. I don't know much you've replied.

Well, at the very least, they'll be some people that leave chrome/chromium for something else. I hope they go to firefox, but you never know what the next big thing is.

@@ImZipux the next big thing will show up whenever people have a reason to depart from firefox. which will show up when firefox has any issues to fix. At the moment, all of the issues that FF users seem to be experiencing are very obviously associated with Google-provided services and are easily circumventable. the reason you gave in the video for people choosing chrome over firefox is that chrome "exists" and "is the most popular browser", which I don't quite follow. Well actually I do follow it, the path it took me in looks like this: ⭕

You make an excellent point about the next big thing. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with Firefox. I think it's fine just the way it is. Some people like the Google environment and wanna stay in it. And I think I see your point? That the logic is kinda circular? People want what others are using. It's no different than the situation with Wayland. People feel like they have to go to Wayland because everyone else is going to it. That's all I meant by that. Like, it's the new (not new though), shiny thing that everyone wants so they can be cool. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough on that part of the video.

unfortunately there is a lot of people switching to edge...

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad this has helped you out.

incredible stability, good gaming support, stays out the way, decent support, nice guis for most all system related activities, easy to install and use. It's not exciting or fun, but it is very good. Also, the xz vuln. got into arch, and debian testing, but not stable. Which validates their approach, I think.

Thanks, I appreciate that!

@@ImZipux I plan on building my own os someday. One that merges my windows and Ubuntu experience, with non of the drawbacks💟

What could you not find in discover? Are you referring to you can't find any app or you can't install them?

@@ImZipux I found what I needed, simply couldn't install a single thing.

Really? That's interesting. I've only had it break on me the one time.

Thank you, I appreciate that!

Oh yeah, Arch tends to have that effect on people. I'm sorry to hear that you had to switch, as a result. But I hope you're happy, no matter what distro you choose.

I'm happy to hear you've switched over to Linux fully. I've dual booted with windows once and it just wasn't for me, but there's people into it and it works for them.

And that shouldn't be. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

@@ImZipux <3

Try a different distro i would say. Sure using supremacy distros like arch, gentoo, or lfs yes that will yield this result, but debian based distros (or even arch-based) tent to be a lot more chill.

@@sebastian_lindau-skands i moved to mac a while ago and haven't looked back. I just like how painless everything is. Yes it's not as customizable but everything works out of the box with 0 configuration. Makes my life easier. I undestand the appeal of linux but it's just not for me.

Is arch for people who want to read a manual though? I'm sorry but I really do think that over the past say 5 years with arch install scripts and the easier streamlined installation process that arch has become the defacto "minimalist-ish" distro for most noobies who'd prefer not to run a distro with a bunch of pre installed crap, not a distro for hardcore power users who want to read and understand how everything works (this is all in the scope of Linux users of course , to your average windows or Mac user any Linux user is advanced to a certain degree) So knowing that I do believe that "some" of the things asked around the internet can be solved by unironically reading the f manual , or by doing a quick Google search , but over the years the arch community has seriously become off putting and straight up rude to very normal well cited questions that can't be easily debugged by reading the manual. "Oh but it's so so simple, all the person has to do is xy" well of course most veteran arch users including those who answer questions think that , because they've already debugged that on their own a while ago! Anything is easy when you know how to do it , everything is simple when you've been using Linux for the past 10 Years. I don't think the point of the video or most complaints about RTFM come from people actually not wanting to read the manual , rather from people who'd gotten condescending responses to legitimately complex issues and been just told off for not knowing every bit of detail related to it beforehand

I'd like to add that the knowledge of WHERE to actually look is in most cases the actual problem , not reading within itself. If I ask a question about something that I straight up don't know , my pc not booting for example , as a normal guy I don't even know WHERE to look to try and debug my issue. Is it grub? Is it the kernel? Is it Mesa fucking up my graphics? Oh right , I don't even know what Mesa is , because I'm a regular user , but you do , and you've experienced this before , so why not give a normal answer and move on instead ofbeing a jerk?

​@@slaier8727Just to quickly answer your initial question, yes. Regardless of the ease of entry now, Arch Linux still maintains its philosophy of user centrality.

So I'm someone who has a DIY attitude. I do want to read and learn how to do stuff, personally. I was speaking, in regards to how power users can be ugly towards others when solving problems. There are ways to show and tell someone to try to solve an issue themselves before reaching out without telling them to "RTFM". RTFM has become a meme that either people take so seriously that they leave Linux altogether or they don't take it seriously enough and never do their own research. So you either get people that get very upset and leave or very upset and demand that their questions get answered. Either way, it does nothing for the community and it wastes everyone's time. I'm saying the approach is wrong. And if their questions irritate you that much, you should (with all due respect) touch some grass. Why waste your own time in telling someone to "read a manual"? Do you actually bother to link where in the manual to go to? That would be helpful, instead of just saying to read for yourself. It gives them a starting point and then they can ask further questions, if they don't understand something. And I wouldn't just tell power users to touch grass. I'd also tell answer seekers the same thing if the power user becomes toxic towards them. We all should want to do better, in responding to others all around.

@@slaier8727 i accidentally fucked by bootloader and even EFI partition once and solved it without asking stupid questions. didn't take too long tbh. arch is unstable af and you should only be using it if you know how to fix shit when it gets fucked

I'd love to see the percentage of responses that include "RTFM" in it lol.

@@ImZipux I think the worst Stack Overflow behaviour is the “i wouldn’t do it like that” which really grinds my gears
