Just started using Garuda over the weekend and thought I'd draw an ASCII for neofetch.
Download it here:
https://jeff.mimic.ca/p/garuda/neofetch.txt
Run it with neofetch by using neofetch --ascii neofetch.txt
You can add --ascii_colors 1 2 3 4
and adjust which colors are used.
Great work on the distro to everyone involved, really enjoying it!

You post on telegram:
"Been working on a new Garuda ascii for neofetch, not sure if anyone's interested in testing it out, I'm about to add in the neofetch coloring to see how it looks"
Good job and thanks for sharing.
What I personally miss is the typical Garuda Eagle eye
The beauty of Linux is its diversity and that there is something for everyone.

btw... anyone tried the "sixel" graphics to create a logo ?
quick example:
I did that a while back - here it is on a screenshot (slightly different look)
An update of the current look (XFCE Ultimate) See sidebar or neofetch for details...

What’s “sixel”?
sixel is the graphic format :
Sixel, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format supported by terminals and printers from DEC. It consists of a pattern six pixels high and one wide, resulting in 64 possible patterns. Each possible pattern is assigned an ASCII character, making the sixels easy to transmit on 7-bit serial links.
Sixel was first introduced as a way of sending bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50. After being put into "sixel mode" the following data was interpreted to directly control...
with chaotic-aur/libsixel
you have a bin img2sixel
that can turn the image to sixel format, which neofetch and now konsole support ( in 22.04 )
edit: ( bear in mind that I am very uninformed about this, just looked it up when I saw that konsole had initial support for it )
Didn't know that! I did it a different way, using a standard graphic - running on a limited set of terminals. Maybe sixel works better - should try it! Thanks...
