Gentoo Linux logo is not present, like Arch Linux logo is on Arch.

[Soccera1]

Expected outcome: logo for Linux distribution used should appear, like in this screenshot from hyprwm on X.

However, I have this screenshot which shows no logo on Gentoo Linux.

Environment:

Gentoo Linux with default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd (stable) profile
Hyprland 43.0
GCC
Latest hyprsysteminfo version

Steps to reproduce:

Install Gentoo Linux
Use GCC, cmake, and make to make and install hyprsysteminfo
Run hyprsysteminfo in Hyprland
Observe lack of Gentoo Linux logo

what's the output of cat /etc/os-release?

[Soccera1]

NAME=Gentoo
ID=gentoo
PRETTY_NAME="Gentoo Linux"
ANSI_COLOR="1;32"
HOME_URL="https://www.gentoo.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.gentoo.org/support/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.gentoo.org/"
VERSION_ID="2.15"

well that's your answer. Logo depends on this having a logo:

maybe it's possible to fall back on id, gimme sec

hm. I am looking at my icons and I can't find a gentoo icon within my theme. Dunno how that should be obtained.

[Soccera1]

It might not be what you want for the project but one possible solution would be to have system that automatically downloads the correct logo if it's not present after detecting what distro it is. For example, it would download https://www.gentoo.org/assets/img/logo/gentoo-signet.svg if the detected distro is gentoo and there isn't a logo already.

No, allowing a utility to connect to the internet is not what I want it to do. Embedding icons would be passable, but idk what the policies of the gentoo logo are

[Soccera1]

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you'd be able to embed the icon for Gentoo. Here's the source: https://www.gentoo.org/inside-gentoo/foundation/name-logo-guidelines.html. I'm not sure about any other distros specifically, but most distros are OK with non commercial use as long as it's clearly not affiliated with their distro as far as I know.

I guess you could also fall back to using nerd fonts for distros that don't provide logos

Or just embed it I guess, would make the whole thing a bit heavier but who cares, it's 5KB after all

are you sure its not a special icon provided per distro? I wouldnt expect to have archlinux-logo on nix or nix-snowflake on arch.
