[Solved?] Can't set system-wide neofetch config

[dusty socket]

The wiki says the default config is stored in /etc/neofetch/config.conf, but that directory apparently doesn't exist in my system. Tried making the folder and copying my personal config file there, but it didn't work, so i deleted them

"Neofetch will by default create a config file at $HOME/.config/neofetch/config.conf on first run."

yeah i know, it also says the generated config is just being copied over from /etc/neofetch/config.conf, so i deleted the generated config on the other account before trying to run neofetch again, once i had the correct config in that location

does --config work

[dusty socket]

yes

[timid flare]

i think the wiki is lying to you
the script and the makefile don't mention this file at all

maybe it's outdated or something

either way you could just make a symlink or edit the source code

i feel like it's as simple as changing line 39 to put xdg config home as /etc, granted, that will probably break the terminal fontpart

alias not symlink

[dusty socket]

I guess i'll just use an alias then... Thanks for the help
