This is a extremly simple script that downloads an unsplash image and sets it as a wallpaper every 15 minutes. I was done with an extra menu item or an app, I just wanted random nice images as a wallpaper on my screen(s).
Let me know if you like it/are using it 🤩👌.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/raw/davidvanleeuwen/unsplash-wallpaper-script/master/install.sh)"

- To begin, this is a bit more cumbersome. Sorry 😟

(note: make sure you don't use this folder for anything else, everything inside will be deleted!)- That's it.
