Hi there,
I did not run neofetch for some time, but today I got a weird output.
What might have gone wrong here? That penguin is scary…
What are the content of /etc/os-release? Do you still have the package eos-hooks installed?

What does lsb_release -a return?

lsb-release was missing on my install. For some reasons it was removed
cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep lsb-release

After reinstalling lsb_release -a outputs
LSB Version: n/a
Distributor ID: EndeavourOS
Description: EndeavourOS Linux
Release: rolling
Codename: rolling
and neofetch is back to normal.
What might have removed lsb-release ?
You could look at the logs at the point in time when it was removed and see the whole transaction to get a better idea of what could have happened.

A dependency to grub-tools?
Looks like it. You have to be quite careful when using pacman -Rs. It will often remove more than it should.

Thanks for pointing this out. It was not dangerous this time but I will be careful in the future.
