I am setting up a new machine and I wanted to change my welcome screen so I wondered how do other peoples look like and how they achieved it.

To start I was outputting a Darth Vader ASCII Art saying "What is thy bidding, my master?"

I have found these to be nice as well:

- https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fortune that outputs random quotes such as

"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so." -- Ford Prefect, _Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"_

Also this one https://github.com/stark/Color-Scripts that has some nice coloured ascii arts

Also this one:

# is the internet on fire status reports

host -t txt istheinternetonfire.com | cut -f 2 -d '"' | cowsay -f moose
