Pipeseroni maintains terminal screensavers, the best known being pipes.sh, an original script written in Bash. Related programs include pipes.c in C, snakes.pl in Perl, maze.py in Python, pipesX.sh and weave.sh. The project began with a script posted to the Arch Linux Forums in early 2010, and an MIT license was added in 2015.
Zsh is a shell designed for interactive use that is also a powerful scripting language. The zsh.org site is an index to Zsh information and archives, with links to web pages, frequently asked questions, and distribution sites.
Yakuake is a drop-down terminal emulator based on KDE Konsole technology. It rolls down from the top of the screen and offers a tabbed interface, configurable dimensions and animation speed, skins and a D-Bus interface. It is available for Linux through distribution package managers and Flathub.
ShellCheck is an open source static analysis tool that automatically finds bugs in shell scripts. It is written in Haskell, licensed under GPLv3, and can be installed locally via cabal, apt, dnf, pkg or brew. A web page allows pasting a script to view its output.
Alacritty is a cross-platform terminal emulator with sensible defaults and extensive configuration. It integrates with other applications rather than reimplementing their functionality. Supported platforms are BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows, and the software is described as being at a beta level of readiness.
bpkg is a bash package manager that installs and manages Bash packages, handling installing and uninstalling and execution permissions. It can install shell scripts globally or per project, placing global installs in /usr/local/bin and per-project installs under the deps/ directory. It can be installed via an install script, clibs, or from source.
Distrobox is a tool that uses podman, docker or lilipod to create containers running the Linux distribution of the user's choice inside the terminal. The created containers are tightly integrated with the host, sharing the HOME directory, external storage, external USB devices, graphical apps and audio.
