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";
    };
  };
}
