gnome-unsplasher

Downloads a random photo from unsplash.com using the QUERY env var and sets it as a desktop wallpaper in Gnome environment.

You must provide an API_KEYS in .env var or node environment for this to work. Check Official doc on how to get it.

You may want to add a cron job to change wallpaper every day.

5. cp ./.env-example ./.env
