Hello!
I’m Joakim from Sweden :sweden:

I’ve been using Linux as my daily driver for a bit over 15 years now (no dualboot cheater :wink:) I did some playing around with Linux back in the late 90’s (Slackware and Red Hat i think it was). What really pushed me over to Linux though was Windows Vista, which I’m actually quite thankful for given the state of things as they are now.. jeez! :sweat_smile:

Not much of a distro-hopper - I’ve been on Ubuntu for all of this time. Did venture away a bit on Mint, Manjaro etc but always returned to Ubuntu and been pleased with it. But have had a bit of an itch lately and wanted to do a fresh installation with something else. So I read about CachyOS and it appealed to me so I went for that, and man I’m more than pleased now! CachyOS certainly blew some new life into my old 4th gen i7 desktop. I put it on an old celeron Chromebook aswell and it to got new life :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I really like how CachyOS has optimized binaries for my CPU etc and squeezes every bit of performance in Linux. Awesome job lads! :heart_eyes:

And the mandatory screenshot, of course :wink:

Hi. Your screenshot looks nice!
I’m a total linux noob. How did u put the pic in the terminal? Can I do it by a gui?? Thx!

Thanks :slight_smile: Graphics in terminal is provided by kitty/sixel protocol and Konsole has support for both. I dunno of any GUI tools for this but throwing in a picture is quite easy.. Just edit your fastfetch config in ~/.config/fastfetch/

Open the terminal with alt+ctrl+t
Then:

kate ~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc

And edit your config to look something like this (this is my config)

{
  "$schema": "https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/raw/master/doc/json_schema.json",
  "logo": {
    "type": "kitty",
    "source": "~/Bilder/pngegg3.png",
    "width": 32
  },

  "modules": [
    "title",
    "separator",
    "os",
    "host",
    "kernel",
    "uptime",
    "packages",
    "shell",
    "display",
    "de",
    "wm",
    "wmtheme",
    "theme",
    "icons",
    "font",
    "cursor",
    "terminal",
    "terminalfont",
    "cpu",
    "gpu",
    "memory",
    "swap",
    "disk",
    "battery",
    "poweradapter",
    "locale",
    "break",
    "colors"
  ]
}

“source” is the path to the image you want so it’d be something like “~/Downloads/your_image.png” if you downloaded it from the web or whatever :slight_smile:

Everything under modules is what information you want to be displayed (GPU, mem, disks etc)
