Any Good Desktop Pets/Games For Linux?

Post by xXVampShawtyXx »

Hi there, I was wondering if there is any cool desktop pets for linux, since I really like those. Also desktop games similiar to something like desktop farm would be cool, any of those. I like having a desktop game so whenever I'm using visual studio code or something I can casually play the desktop game since it is basically an interactive wallpaper.

There are some apparently, there's one called oneko in the repos. Haven't tried it.

If I search "ubuntu desktop pets" most of the hits I get are way too old or look a but dodgy to me.

I suspect the ones available for Linux would look totally lame compared to the Windows ones anyway.

snow and penguins are top for me. I'm also waiting for them to add something else because I've already tried Bonsai Buddy, XScreenSaver, xsnow, and xpenguins.
