Somehow *this* is what's going to convince me to distro hop.

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.

Get spiraled idiot

fastfetch supports custom logos!

Garuda dr46nized has a pretty fetch by default on its console.

How do you even compete with a snowflake made of lambdas? NixOS could be your final distro.

  boot = {
    plymouth = {
      enable = true;
      theme = "breeze";
      logo = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
        name = "out.png";
        dontUnpack = true;
        src = pkgs.fetchurl {
          url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/refs/heads/master/logo/nix-snowflake-rainbow.svg";
          sha256 = "sha256-gMeJgiSSA5hFwtW3njZQAd4OHji6kbRCJKVoN6zsRbY=";
        };
        nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [imagemagick];
        buildPhase = ''
          magick -background none -size 200x200 $src nix-snowflake-rainbow.png
        '';
        installPhase = ''
          install -Dm0644 nix-snowflake-rainbow.png $out
        '';
      };
    };

{
  boot = {
    plymouth = {
      enable = true;
      theme = "breeze";
      logo =
        with pkgs;
        let
          src = fetchurl {
            url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/refs/heads/master/logo/nix-snowflake-rainbow.svg";
            sha256 = "sha256-gMeJgiSSA5hFwtW3njZQAd4OHji6kbRCJKVoN6zsRbY=";
          };
        in
        runCommand "out.png" { } "${imagemagick}/bin/magick -background none -size 200x200 ${src} $out";
    };
  };
}

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!

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?

Why do people use neofetch anyway?

I want to do the Nix thing so bad. It's tempting me but I don't have any time for that.

If your logo isnt cool enough consider hyfetch :3

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.

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.

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.

but their logo could use some workshopping

The Tumbleweed logo too. Used to be a classie infinity symbol. They tilted it 45° and put some weird corners in there, and now it looks like Fedora fanart.

You can customize the logo. Raspberry Pi OS displays as Debian by default but you can force it to be the Raspberry Pi logo.

Gentoo or bust

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)

Could just use distrobox and install neofetch/fastfetch on whatever distro you choose

Eventhough i'm a void user i really like the artix logo and i think it's on of the best looking logos in neofetch/fastfetch

hyfetch is the same but with pride flags

Nobody else needs to see for it to look good to you :)

If I switch from discover to some other manager like bazaar, is it still going to default to my distro's flatpaks? Or will I have to manually choose?

Coolest logo is guix 😎

I hate that this is me...

unironically this is what got me to switch my main pc to manjaro
