Customize Fastfetch on Linux: Replace the Default Look with Images & Config Tweaks
Want to get rid of the default Fastfetch look on Linux and fully customize it? In this video, I walk through how to generate a Fastfetch config file, modify it, and replace the default output with custom layouts and PNG images inside your terminal.
I show how to:
Generate a Fastfetch config file using: fastfetch --gen-config
Locate and edit config.json
Customize modules, separators, colors, and formatting
Display PNG images in Fastfetch (with transparency)
Resize and position images properly in the terminal
Switch between different images
Use Fastfetch with modern terminals (KDE Konsole, GNOME Terminal, Kitty, Alacritty, Hyprland)
Fix image loading with ImageMagick
This setup ties into my ongoing Hyprland configuration, and once it’s finished, I’ll be posting all my dotfiles—including Fastfetch configs and images.
If you enjoy Linux ricing, terminal customization, or tinkering with config files, this is a simple but powerful way to personalize your system.
