       Your Linux setup might be cool, but can it do this?---Logo credit: Drawing by cathodegaytube on twitter.(https://twitter.com/cathodegaytube/status/1197227512075411456)#linux #xenia

       So here's a small tutorial for @selea and @obsidianical , as well as anybody else who is interested in knowing how to do that.It isn't too difficult in itself but you will have to compile the Linux kernel.I only recommend trying it out if you have got experience with compiling the Linux kernel. It's way too easy to stop a system from booting with an improperly configured kernel, even when you have done it plenty of times before (like me, ouch). Anyway!You need:- a picture you want to use as logo- an image editor that can export to ppm/pnm (e.g. Krita)- the program netpbm- the Linux source codeSteps to get the logo into the kernel:- Edit the image to have a black background since transparency is not supported.- Scale the image down. I recommend 160x160 for a 1920x1080 screen.- Export the image as ppm/pnm, e.g. named logo.pnm.- Convert the image to a 224-color ppm with pnmquant:  pnmquant 224 -plain logo.pnm > logo_linux_clut224.ppm- Move the file logo_linux_clut224.ppm into the Linux source subdirectory drivers/video/logo.- Configure the kernel to use the 244-color logo in the configuration menu:  Device Drivers > Graphics support > Bootup logo > Standard 224-color Linux logo- Do the rest of the kernel configuration like you'd usually do.Then compile the kernel, install it and you should see the logo at next bootup!#linux #kernel

       @fangchar @obsidianical Thank you very much! I have bookmarked this and will try it out soon!I am building my own kernels from time to time
