It’s the holiday season and many of you might be celebrating Christmas already. From the team of It’s FOSS, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
To continue the festive mood, I’ll show you some really awesome Linux wallpapers on Christmas theme. But before we see that, how about a Christmas Tree in Linux terminal.
Display Christmas Tree in Linux terminal
This trick was originally shared by NixCraft. You’ll need to install a Perl module for this.
To be honest, I don’t like using Perl modules because uninstalling them is a real pain. So use this Perl module knowing that you’ll have to manually remove it.
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Acme::POE::Tree'
You can read the original article here to know more about it.
Download Linux Christmas Wallpapers
All these Linux Christmas wallpapers are created by Mark Riedesel and you can find plenty of other artwork on his website.
He has been making such wallpapers almost every year since 2002. Quite understandably some of the earliest wallpapers don’t have modern aspect ratio. I have put them up in reverse chronological order.
One tiny note. The images displayed here are highly compressed so download the wallpapers from the provided link only.
Bonus: Linux Christmas carols
Here is a bonus for you. Christmas carols Linuxified for Linux lovers like us.
In an article on Computer World, Sandra Henry-Stocker shared such Christmas carols. An excerpt:
To the tune of: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
Running merrily on open source
With users happy as can be
We’re using Linux and getting lots done
And happy everything is free
To the tune of: The Twelve Days of Christmas
On my first day with Linux, my admin gave to me a password and a login ID
On my second day with Linux my admin gave to me two new commands and a password and a login ID
You can read full carols here.
Merry Linux to you!!
