Neofetch/Ascii Query
Posted by CGDowner@reddit | linux | View on Reddit | 10 comments
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how I can insert the left image into my neofetch terminal splash with the exact same colors?
I have the Ascii art as txt as well and can generate it in terminal with color using j2pa but I don't understand how I can manipulate neofetch into displaying it like that.
Any help would be massively appreciated !!

Long answer: https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Custom-Ascii-art-file-format Short answer: Neofetch is no longer maintained. Switch to fast fetch

If it does what he needs it to do, why does it matter?
Pretend_Fly_1319@reddit
Faster, more features, more configurable, more polished, actually supports Wayland.
Why wouldn’t you?
RebTexas@reddit
It's literally just a script that shows some system info, none of that really matters. I still use screenfetch on most of my systems and fastfetch displayed the gpu wrong on my thinkpad.

If it doesn’t matter, we wouldn’t be using them ;~)
It’s fine you still use screenfetch, screenfetch is still maintained. Fastfetch displayed your GPU wrong? Sorry that happened, I’ve never had that issue on any of my machines and I don’t know anyone else who has, either.
It’s coming across more like you dislike fastfetch, which is fine, but none of that is a reason to still use neofetch.
RebTexas@reddit
Neofetch being unmaintained basically just means it won't get new ascii art for new distros. Like I said in the 1st reply, if it works for OP there's not much of a reason to switch to fastfetch. I don't dislike it, I just don't see why It'd be necessary to use it over neofetch.
Pretend_Fly_1319@reddit
What it actually means is that the 290 issues on GitHub will never be worked on because the project is dead. Is it hurting OP to have neofetch installed? No, but I don’t see why you would use something deprecated when you could have any alternative. It doesn’t have to be fastfetch, it could be HyFetch or screenfetch or literally anything else, I just recommended what I and a lot of others use.

in your config you need to like, add your ascii colors with ansi codes
then I dont remember the exact format but you'd put like
$C1xxxx so xxxx becomes the first color in your ascii colors
I don't think $CX is the correct format you'll have to check the project but you get the concept right
