    4. Currently TerminalFont shows the error Unknown terminal: ghostty. Add support for detecting the font for the Ghostty terminal. Besides me being a new user of this terminal, it's gaining popularity recently after becoming open source and having its first release.

    10. This one's probably a little weird, but I did manage to get fastfetch working on jailbroken iOS 17 (palera1n). It's about a 600 line bash script with a lot of patches to remove the libraries that iOS doesn't support, however the default config works fine: Is this something that…
