fortune-mod in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own fortune-mod package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so fortune-mod should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • fortune
  • strfile
  • unstr

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Terminal toys run in Breadstick's Terminal as on any Linux system. More in the docs: The Terminal.
