[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 - Can be given runaway train mode (passengers say HELP!)




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

An evolved version of cowsay . A man page featuring a graphical cow and, incredibly, the ability to specify your favorite image file and have it speak any phrase you like.

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
