One of the most powerful features of Linux is that it has a large number of small command tools, which can be called the most interesting part of it. Among these many useful commands and scripts, you will find that a small number of command tools are not so useful-if you do not want to say that they are completely useless. You need to know that Linux command terminals do not always do some serious things. the list of some of the commands that are not actually useful but interesting is not because they are not useless, it's really interesting. let's see how they are funny.

I. cmatrix

You should have watched the Hollywood blockbuster hacking empire. I believe you will be fascinated by the magical scenes in the movies. In the eyes of Neo, everything can be presented in the form of byte streams of computers. do you also want to create a desktop with a data stream of great hackers?

Install cmatrix

~#sudo apt-get install cmatrix

Execution result

~# cmatrix

II. oneko

If you think that the linux terminal is just a character and a cursor, and there are no other forms of expression, you are very wrong. The "oneko" command is a good example, don't think oneko is just a figure of a kitten. Move your mouse and it will play with you.

Install oneko

~#sudo apt-get install oneko

Execution result

~# oneko

III. aafire

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a fire on your black-and-white command terminal? you just need to enter the aafire command and press enter to see the miracle.

Install aafire

~#sudo apt-get install libaa-bin

Execution result

~# aafire

IV. ASCIIquarium

5. toilet)

Are there any other commands that call this name wrong? Although the name itself is funny enough. What are the special functions of this command? It is definitely not because your toilet will be automatically flushed after you execute this command.

In addition, it can also print effects of various styles, such as colors, metallic luster.

VI. Steam Locomotive Steam engine

It's clear, not ls, it's 'S1 '. Ls is the most common linux command used to list file directories. Because of the frequent usage, it is inevitable that when you try to make a mistake, what will happen if you press 'S1? The consequences are very serious. do you still remember the scenario where a train suddenly appeared in a dream? The effect of this command is to let your screen go through a steam engine train. Interesting.
