This is a script that display a "real time" image of Earth, incoming from NOAA's satellite data, and sets it as desktop wallpaper for the Linux Xfce Desktop Environment (Works on Linux Mint)
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
sudo mkdir /opt/noaawallpaper
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Diego0101/noaa_wallpaper/refs/heads/main/noaawallpaper.sh -o /opt/noaawallpaper/noaawallpaper.sh
sudo chmod 755 /opt/noaawallpaper/noaawallpaper.sh
sudo update-rc.d noaawallpaper.sh default
By runing the script for GLM data:
/opt/noaawallpaper/noaawallpaper.sh -s glm
or DayNight data
/opt/noaawallpaper/noaawallpaper.sh -s dn
My personal choice is to invoke it through the shortcut: Ctrl+F11 It can be set by clicking on Start>Keyboard>Application Shortcuts, Add, and set the execution of "/opt/noaawallpaper.sh -s dn" triggered by Ctrl+F11 Feel free to use, report or comment
