I built a lightweight Linux startup greeter that automatically opens a terminal on login and displays:
- Dynamic, time-based greetings
- System information via neofetch
- ASCII banners using figlet + lolcat
- Customizable colors and styles
It’s tested on XFCE-based systems (Kali Linux / Xubuntu). At the end, the terminal shows "Press Enter to exit..."
Repo & installation instructions: GitHub link
Demo screenshot is included in the README.
Why I made this:
I wanted a fun and personalized startup greeting on Linux, something that shows system info in a stylish way, without being heavy or intrusive.
