#fastfetch

Continued thread
Just tried the same on my ThinkPad which is my #Wayland setup with #Foot as the terminal.
I can run img2sixel in foot and display an image but if I run #Fastfetch with a custom image it just displays the normal ASCII logo. Yet if I use neofetch it works as expected so to me it's not an Xorg or Wayland issue or terminal Xterm or Foot it is something with #Fastfetch or the way it's built on #FreeBSD ??

Fastfetch line:

fastfetch --logo ~/Downloads/freebsd-icon-27.png --logo-type sixel

Neofetch line which works:

neofetch --sixel ~/Downloads/freebsd-icon-27.png

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

I've been having trouble with the display on my framework 13 laptop for the last couple of months so I decided today to give my nearly 8 year old Dell XPS 13 a go. If the battery life estimate is in anyway accurate I might end up sticking with it! Potentially an all-day battery machine.

Linux App Release Roundup (Feb 2025)

February was a bumper month for Linux app updates, bringing new releases of Mozilla Firefox, LibreOffice, ONLYOFFICE and more — as well as a slew of smaller app updates that didn’t get a full-length article on this blog. Rather than skip over them entirely I thought I’d resurrect my Linux Release Roundup thread1 to provide a monthly (perhaps twice-monthly, if there’s a lot) run-through of some of them. After all, for those of us on fixed-release Linux distribution like Ubuntu may find one of these smaller updates fixes a flaw or fleshes out a feature to make it worth upgrading :sys_more_orange:
