Get correct icon in rEFInd

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0100

When booting rEFInd it found both my linux and my windows, but it displayed Tux as the icon for linux. Solved it by putting a png of the CachyOS icon in /boot directory with the same name as the kernel.

Started using rEFInd as bootloader since I dual-boot Linux and Windows. Wanted to make it look a bit better than stock. Found a great resource for themes.

Unified clipboard between Neovim and Windows WSL2

Install win32yank.exe

SHELL

$ curl -sLo/tmp/win32yank.zip https://github.com/equalsraf/win32yank/releases/download/v0.0.4/win32yank-x64.zip
$ unzip -p /tmp/win32yank.zip win32yank.exe > /tmp/win32yank.exe
$ chmod +x /tmp/win32yank.exe
$ sudo mv /tmp/win32yank.exe /usr/local/bin/

Remember to restart shell, to cache binary. I experienced not being able to access it straight after download and move.
