screenfetch: Specify distribution logo and text.
$ screenfetch -D '${distribution_name}'
try on your machine

The command screenfetch is likely a program or script that displays system information and configuration details in a visually appealing way.

With the -D option, the command allows you to explicitly specify the distribution name to be displayed. In this case, the ${distribution_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of your Linux distribution. By using the single quotes around the placeholder, it ensures that the variable is not expanded by the shell, but rather passed as-is to the screenfetch command.

For example, if you are using Ubuntu as your distribution, and you want screenfetch to display "Ubuntu" as the distribution name, you would replace ${distribution_name} with Ubuntu. The command would look like this:

screenfetch -D 'Ubuntu'

Executing that command should generate a system information display with the specified distribution name.
