Cool fancy programs?

Hello,

I’m looking for as many cool, even if pointless, programs as I can, be them terminal programs or gui ones. What do I mean by this? I’ll use some examples:

  • The Cube (I believe it was called Compiz): the one we all know and love.
  • cmatrix
  • the hollywood one
  • That one whose name I forget but basically spawns a cat that chases your cursor, I saw it showcased on Pop!_OS’ mastodon.
  • wobbly windows
  • Burn my window
  • tplay

if any of you know any other fancy program like this let me know please. I want to showcase them to non-linux people to show them what can be done here but not necessarily in other OSes (particularly Windows).

yetAnotherUser,

When talking about cool programs, you can’t forget the classic cowsay

I’m partial to Pokemon say.

MonkderZweite,

and fortune or fortune-mod. Combine it with cowsay for best effect.

misophist,

xjack is one of my all-time favorite programs.

May I interest you in lolcat?

CrabAndBroom,

There’s also dotacat written in Rust for people who find lolcat too slow.

Because dota is better than lol. Lol.
