Every fifteen minutes or so, I have my desktop wallpaper changing to a fresh satellite image of Earth. Sometimes it shows Africa and Europe from the Meteosat satellite. Sometimes it shifts to the Pacific and Australasia, seen from Japan’s Himawari-9. Both are near real-time images from geostationary satellites orbiting above the equator.
Here is how to cook it up on Debian 13 (Trixie) with KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland.
