    • GRUB ASCII Art - For Fedora

    1 min read

    The other day I stumbled across this post about customising the GRUB bootloader to display ASCII art. Among the comments was Nx2’s tutorial on how to do this. The steps listed unfortunately don’t quite work for Fedora. Fedora uses GRUB2 instead of GRUB so update-grub doesn’t work.

    In order to get this to work on Fedora, I needed to:

    1. Comment out the GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" in addition to adding the GRUB_THEME variable with a path to the theme file as Nx2 does.
    2. Run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg in order to update GRUB2 instead of grub-update.
