Yes.

cat logo.txt | fastfetch --raw - --logo-width 40 --logo-height 29 --logo-padding-left 0

Adjust numbers to suit. Note that logo.txt is in ascii. Here is an example:

[tom@min ~]$ cat logo.txt | fastfetch --raw - --logo-width 40 --logo-height 29 --logo-padding-left 0
       ,

Refers to my post at #5.

I have my Terminal prompt on all of my Arch-based distros (Manjaro, Cachy, Bluestar, Endeavour, Liya, and so on) displaying what you are seeking.

If you are interested, you could also let me know

1. EXT4, BTRFS, or other?
2. Content of both of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname

Wizard

Arch started ignoring hosts about 5 years ago, if not more, so that file's useless. Plus, hosts is about external hosts, like blocking or allowing access to a website online. It has nothing to do with the host name.
/etc/hostname doesn't exist here.

I don't see what the filesystem has anything to do with what I need to do.
As for the prompt, changing it has a bug (happens every time): when I open a dir and type "rsync *.mkv "/path/to target - just before I close the path with the final double quote, the cursor jumps (and gets stuck there) right before the first square bracket. If the new prompt is [rado@resist], the cursor jumps to this position:
|[rado@resist]
With the cursor being stuck there, I can't do anything. So I'm back to the original prompt.

@rado84 That file is created at installation time in most distros, when you choose the computer name (not user name). Try a back-up and re-install of your OS and use ResistOS as the computer name (and Rado, I assume, your username) so you end up with

rado@ResistOS

as a terminal prompt.

@osprey can I get the colors and all that from the text file? I'd like it to look like the image above in my previous post.

Yes, you can configure colors, but you would need to write or amend a json file in
~/.config/fastfetch/config.jsonc which specifies the colors to be used. I haven't used colors myself, but my approach would be to download the source of fastfetch from github, check out how it codes color into the logos it uses, and learn how to include the code in the json config file. There's a bit of learning involved which I haven't done at this point, so that the limit of my contribution unfortunately.

Try a back-up and re-install of your OS...

Unlikely to happen, Robin, as the OP has so heavily customised his distro over years, and the time it will take him to check replacement (or not) confirmations. he will have a Clonezilla backup that would do for his purposes, but there are simpler methods.

...so that file's useless

Refers to /etc/hosts , and no, it's not useless, in fact when I started using it and hostname 10 years ago to modify my terminal prompt, it was recommended Best Practice to put exactly the same hostname in both.

Plus, hosts is about external hosts, like blocking or allowing access to a website online. It has nothing to do with the host name.

Likewise.

I don't see what the filesystem has anything to do with what I need to do.

It may not, but I do not use BTRFS, so I wanted to eliminate that possibility.

With the cursor being stuck there, I can't do anything. So I'm back to the original prompt.

On

but for the moment I haven't found a safe way to change it without reinstalling.

Since you are using Systemd, simplest fix is likely

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname "resist"

Then close the terminal and reopen the terminal.

If that works, then reboot and it will likely persist.

You will also then have an /etc/hostname file, which sole content will be

resist

You can use eg

RESIST-OS

but not

RESIST_OS

because it will filter out the underscore.

Try it and see.
