Minor problem with fastfetch

Issues & Assistance KDE
1

Great day community,

I have this small issue regarding fastfetch which displays when I open up my terminal (tabby). I've stumbled upon on this thread where there is a snippet of config by @SGS to show up dragon (which I think looks super cool) instead of ASCII G.

## Run fastfetch if session is interactive
if status --is-interactive && type -q fastfetch
   fastfetch --load-config garuda
end

I've tried both included snippets, --load-config garuda and --load-config dr460nized. Now, when I start my terminal, it'll display my system info as usual, but there is no icon at all, there is just a blank space - no ASCII G, no dragon.

This is not an issue really, I can always revert back to neofetch, but any help would be - as always - greatly appreciated.

To render that image, you will need to switch to a terminal that supports the Kitty graphics protocol. Not many terminals support it--Kitty, Konsole, Wezterm, and a couple others. Not Tabby, I'm afraid.

If you wish, you can take out the --load-config garuda and it will go back to having ASCII art.

Thank you man. I'm not willing to trade off tabby for cool fastfetch, because of great SSH profiles support and such.

Anyways, really appreciate your help. :+1:
