Please try decorating your CLI with them.

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
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—

sudo apt install bb bb
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
