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)
Feel free to contribute other such useless software that you enjoy….
Remember, like with all of my work, I am able to provide the following assurance(s):
- It is almost certainly going to work until it breaks; although I have to admit it may never work and that would be sad.
- When/if it does break, you may keep all of the pieces.
- If you find my materials helpful, both you & I will be happy, at least for a little while.
- My advice is worth every penny you paid for it!
