From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

[SOLVED] [Request] KDE Plasma Widget to Show JSON Results (sh.itjust.works)

I am using a Steam Deck with Mullvad VPN WireGuard. I am quite limited with the software I can install without having to reinstall on each update. On each reboot I have to manual turn on the Mullvad VPN and there is no kill-switch. I run the Steam Deck in desktop mode most of the time connected to a monitor.

I tried to set the WireGuard settings to automatically connect, but the settings keep getting reset.

So I am looking for a desktop widget that can run the command:

curl https://am.i.mullvad.net/json

This gives me the connection status and extra information.

If you think I am going about this the wrong way, let me know if there is a better way to quickly check my VPN status.

Unrelated, but can you share the wallpaper? :)

It is one of the default KDE wallpapers done by Louis Durrant for a competition KDE was holding. He titled it, "Safe Landing".

If you don't mind visiting reddit, here is a link to a 5120x2880 version.
