2. Download **FiraCode Nerd Font** or **Hack Nerd Font**
3. Install it on your **host OS**
4. In Tilix:  
    `Preferences → Default Profile → Text → Enable Custom Font`  
    Select your installed Nerd Font

### Step 4: Add a System Info Banner with Neofetch

Install Neofetch:

```bash
sudo apt install neofetch -y
```

Then edit your `~/.bashrc` file:

```bash
nano ~/.bashrc
```

Add this line at the end:

```bash
neofetch
```

Save and apply:

```bash
source ~/.bashrc
```

You’ll now see a clean, branded system header every time you open your terminal!
