[Linux] Fun packages (not used for work)

environment

This time I used Ubuntu, but other distributions should be fine too

cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04 LTS"

sl

The CLI screen is just a locomotive running through the package
man page.
The only basic command is "sl".

sudo apt install sl sl

Or with full options below

sl -alFe

- Flight mode
- Mini steam locomotive
- Can be stopped with Ctrl+C
runaway train mode (passengers say HELP!)
Can be given

oneko

Make cats appear on the CLI (not just cats)

sudo apt install oneko oneko

man page

oneko -dog

dog

oneko-sakura

CC sa◯ et al

oneko -tomoyo

To◯yo

oneko -tora

Tiger 🐅

bb

A package that can create visual descriptions using only text—
to put it mildly, it's genius.

sudo apt install bb bb

man page

xcowsay

cowsayfeaturing a graphical cow and, incredibly, the ability to specify your favorite image file and have it speak any phrase you like.
A man page

sudo apt install xcowsay xcowsay test


You can specify the image file by specifying the path with the "--image" option

xcowsay --image=/path/to/image/cow.png Wow

Maybe I'll write again when I have more
