Adds a watermark to the bottom-right of the screen similar to the one found on unactivated Windows 10/11

About

Activate Linux

A simple, static message in the bottom right hand corner to remind you that your operating system isn't burdened by such restrictive terms as the likes of Windows.

Allows the user to fully customize the text shown in the watermark. Free as in freedom. 🦅
