I’m really enjoying Pop!_OS, but their logo could use some workshopping imo. I’ve been considering trying an upstream distro as an educational experience anyway, yet somehow this is what I’m feeling excited about. I don’t know why - nobody but me is ever going to see my neofetch output. Lol

(NixOS isn’t really in the running… I just wanted a 3rd example and like the logo)

      Until you find out that the configuration file syntax is like swift and Haskell had a baby.

        This is an example how to define plymouth with your own logo derivation. Isn’t this the most beautiful?

          boot = {
            plymouth = {
              enable = true;
              theme = "breeze";
              logo = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
                name = "out.png";
                dontUnpack = true;
                src = pkgs.fetchurl {
                  url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/refs/heads/master/logo/nix-snowflake-rainbow.svg";
                  sha256 = "sha256-gMeJgiSSA5hFwtW3njZQAd4OHji6kbRCJKVoN6zsRbY=";
                };
                nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [imagemagick];
                buildPhase = ''
                  magick -background none -size 200x200 $src nix-snowflake-rainbow.png
                '';
                installPhase = ''
                  install -Dm0644 nix-snowflake-rainbow.png $out
                '';
              };
            };

          It can be simplified with the use of runCommand:

          {
            boot = {
              plymouth = {
                enable = true;
                theme = "breeze";
                logo =
                  with pkgs;
                  let
                    src = fetchurl {
                      url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/refs/heads/master/logo/nix-snowflake-rainbow.svg";
                      sha256 = "sha256-gMeJgiSSA5hFwtW3njZQAd4OHji6kbRCJKVoN6zsRbY=";
                    };
                  in
                  runCommand "out.png" { } "${imagemagick}/bin/magick -background none -size 200x200 ${src} $out";
              };
            };
          }
