I can't believe you've simulated so much of the bash shell for the theme!  I can't help but notice something sinister is about at the same time, such as how clippi's title mentions something about purgatory, though maybe it's a play on the pain of the experience you are portraying?  \n\nUnfortunately I wasn't able to enjoy much of it, though.  Out of curiosity I set a driver that said it was from the future (the date command said it was the 20th century but the driver was supposed to be from 2001) and then after that the game went into an infinite loop of shutting down the computer because of fatal errors.
