I’ve seen some ASCII Art, that supposedly comes up when you open the terminal:
Has anyone made something similar for OML/Konsole?
If not, any pointers as to how its done?

nano .bashrc

ctrl+x to exit nano

only gives me a blank console, and when I do try to write and save, I get permission issues. Great pointer, though. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Here’s a one-liner that’ll do it for you:
sudo bash -c $'echo "fastfetch" >> /etc/profile.d/mymotd.sh && chmod +x /etc/profile.d/mymotd.sh'

Open Kate. Then in Kate, open the file:
~/.bashrc and add fastfetch as the very last line.
If there is a permission issue, Kate will ask for the password for sudo.

Also, if you’d like to change things up from the ASCII art at any point, other terminal emulators like kitty and ghostty allow you to use custom pictures for your art. Here’s what my fastfetch looks like with a custom OM logo that I made in GIMP…

There is no such file on my system.

Looks like putting the / and home directories on different partitions is kinda bitin me in the arse.
At this point, I’ve had a bit too much Gibson’s to keep messing around in the terminal and with root permission, so I’d like to thank you guys for all the ideas. I’m sure that I have enough info to figure it out now.
Once again, I am impresed by the quality and helpfulness of the community.
I must leave now, before I get all maudlin, and start sayin’ “I love you guys, man!”

Well, no, not yet. It’ll get created when you run the command. I have the / and /home on different partitions; that shouldn’t matter.

Love that config!
How you do it?

First…on fastfetch’s github, they have different sample/example configs. I’m not great with json (or really any programming language), so I just copy-and-pasted some to see what they looked like. I ultimately settled on “12.json”. Here’s the link to their examples, so you can play around with these to change up the configuration: fastfetch/presets/examples at dev · fastfetch-cli/fastfetch · GitHub
As for the logo, I overlaid the regular OM Logo on top of the flower from the ROME wallpaper using Canva, and then removed the background in GIMP. I have 2 different variations: 1 for more of a darker theme/background, and the other for a lighter theme/background. I’ll attach both to this post…just in case you or anyone else wants to use them 
. Logo2 is the lighter one, and Logo3 is the darker one.

Oh…and 1 more thing. I was experimenting with zsh instead of bash, and ended up liking it more. I installed oh-my-zsh, and my prompt is the “nanotech” theme from oh-my-zsh.

I got it working, I was just a bit too drunk when I asked. DD15’s advice worked like a charm.

Thats what I eneded up doing. Went with one of the examples and chose for no image.
I did the oh-my-bash cause zsh is too much for my brain. Lol.

I am just glad that I could contribute something useful. Even if it really isn’t very much in the grand scheme of things.
For what it is worth, here is another trick with fastfetch:
fastfetch -l ~/your_folder_name/whatever_logo_image_file_you_want_to_use.png
Adjust the folder and file names to your setup accordingly.
