Speedtest by Ookla CLI

Post by antikythera »

I have been using this to check the state of my wireless adapter after booting the PC because it's still randomly connecting at 2 Mbps sometimes despite power management and SSID searching being disabled as per lwfinger's advice.

I got tired of opening a terminal to run it each time so created myself a launcher and found an icon for it that actually fits in well with Mint-Y on the internet.

Launcher properties:

Name=Speedtest by Ookla
Command=/home/usernamegoeshere/ookla-speedtest-1.1.1-linux-x86_64/speedtest
Comment=CLI version for Linux

icon from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/wp-content/up ... 84x384.png
the icon is saved to /home/usernamegoeshere/.icons

I’ll tell you a DNS joke but be advised, it could take up to 24 hours for everyone to get it.

Interesting, he also does a Go version. I'll stick with the version I have already though
