So if you want a beta I can't supply until further notice

Okay, good luck on the development. To add support for your os in neofetch, you will have to design a logo first, and then design an ascii art of the logo.

But also... is BrickLinux using Linux kernel?

[PokeyManatee4]

Yes, rn it is using the arch kernel

Yes, rn it is using the arch kernel

Neofetch will only print "Unknown OS detected" if the kernel is not supported, which means that your kernel name (as detected by uname -s) is BrickLinux. If you're distro is using Linux kernel, it should always be "Linux" and you shouldn't modify that.

Let's see some examples: Fedora's kernel is "Linux"

Debian's kernel is "Linux"

ArchLinux's kernel is "Linux" (even when I'm using the linux-zen kernel)

You should instead modify /etc/os-release to identify your distro.

Oh I didn't know that, thanks for the clarification, I'll set it up again after school today
