Terminal splash screen with Weather, Calendar, Time, and System Information displayed. This information provided courtesy of user https://unix.stackexchange.com/users/200094/wineunuuchs2unix You may see more of his work at https://www.pippim.com/
The heavy lifting is the splash component that shows something like this:
$ now
Save the `~/.bashrc" file changes. To display the Ubuntu information (or other distro) you need screenfetch:
sudo apt install screenfetch
There are similar display packages to screenfetch, like neofetch, so shop around!
If you want the same command prompt with "─────────" dividing line between commands, change these lines:
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
${debian_chroot:+(
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt
For more information about PS1 see https://www.warp.dev/blog/whats-so-special-about-ps1
Note the length of the separator line coincides with width of screenfetch output. In this case it is 92 characters wide and gnome-terminal preferences are set accordingly.
