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.

Out of curiosity is there an analogous utility for if you are using networkd instead of NetworkManager?

Aside from parsing proc wireless...

Ah alright. 😂 Thanks for pointing out the mistake. Appreciate it.

Why don't you have an applet or something instead?

[–] leo85811nardo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because the machine could be headless so it can't display the applet to click on

[–] letbelight@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's as other said, headless. Sometimes I only need to check if the signal strength is alright, as I use that machine as servers and host several service on it.
