About plugins

Wiki Pusher edited this page Sep 5, 2022 · 1 revision

Plugins can be used to expand the functionality of the linuxmuster-linuxclient7. The intention is to keep special use cases, like conky or static linking of folders like Documents and Pictures, out of the main codebase to keep it sleek.
Plugins consist of hook-scripts which are placed inside the respective folders in /etc/linuxmuster-linuxclient7.

If you have an issue with a plugin, please contact the maintainer directly.
