    Well, yes... they're running on non-Windows systems/alternative operating systems. What are you expecting? Plug-and-play? That's not going to happen with non-Native applications. Just like if you were to install (as an example) neofetch onto Windows, you'd have to recompile it's instructions to run on it (sidenote: You can get neofetch to run on Windows... via Windows Subsystems for Linux, but that's off topic).
  • Script for converting jp2a output to the neofetch file format
    1 project | /r/linux | 13 May 2023
    With neofetch development seemingly stalled since Dec 2021, and notably without support for proper support for ANSI color codes, I took it upon myself to write an incredibly simple script that replaces ANSI escape sequences with the ${c1}-${c6} modifiers that neofetch actually supports.

    Oh I see, yeah the name is the same. Though I just found in this file in the neofetch github this line: cpu="${cpu//with Radeon * Graphics}" Shouldn't this have removed the string by default?

    That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

    ZShell is an alternative to bash a.k.a. "Bourne-Again SHell". It does everything that bash does and just like Tmux it is extensible via a healthy plugin ecosystem. By this point I hope you have already tried to run zsh on your terminal. At first it won't look like much has changed but with the right plugins this can become your best friend on the command line. The first thing we need to do is to install oh-my-zsh, a framework on top of zsh that manages configs, plugins, themes, and more.
