Hi,

I suspect the terminal needs to run first.

Running

terminal && neofetch

might run neofetch after the terminal is closed, not while it's running.

However, my script example

#!/bin/bash

terminal-name.real "$@" & neofetch

exit

might start neofetch, before the terminal is ready. So it should be
something similar to

#!/bin/bash

terminal-name.real "$@" & sleep 2; neofetch

exit

Regards,
Ralf
