If you like ascii terminal art (?) here are some entertaining ideas/ links/ guides. ItsFOSS provides some interesting options.
Because not everything can be found in every distribution, I have included pointers where I found some I wanted/ needed, including:
- asciiaquarium (install instructions) I used the manual build method help on this page.
- Art Time (very robust and ‘feature full’)
As for terminal status information, I tend to use two tools:
- pfetch (minimalist)
- neofetch (more robust)

Knowledge and information should be open—please spread them far and wide.A few things to keep in mind:
- All of my work comes with absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied. However…
- It will almost certainly work until it breaks,
though I must admit it may never work or be useful—and that would be sad.- If/when it breaks, you can keep all the pieces.
- As for what you don’t like, it’s yours to do with as you will.
- If you find my materials helpful, both you and I will be happy (at least for a while).
- My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
