Got bored and made a custom /etc/issue file for my Void Linux machines. It displays a colour Void Linux logo along with kernel version, tty number and date on login. The file is here just copy it to /etc/issue or you can preview it using agetty. Feel free to change it to suit.

I’ve changed my /etc/issue file, but it doesn’t display when logging into tty2, or through ssh, or a new terminal. Is it meant to be displayed by .bash_profile or similar?

Did not even know /etc/issue was a thing. Looks great I will add this to my void install

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
