hotspot/adhoc plugin request. or how do I create a plugin?
I want to add https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot as a plugin for decky loader. I'm very much still new to Linux. Although I do run Ubuntu on my jellyfin server and have some basic experience with that. If someone could ether add this as a plugin or give me some sources to read and watch to do it my self that would be awesome!
- Linux WiFi Hotspot use the same wifi card that's already connected to wifi to create a Hotspot similar to windows 10. Works on Ubuntu some people said it works on Fedora as well. Not sure if works on any other distros but it's worth trying.
- In case some of you guys missed it a about a month ago. use the same wifi card that's already in use as a wifi hot spot similar to Windows 10

Any tips for a starter to Ubuntu
I have something better than a tip. I have the answer to a possible problem you may or may not experience at some point down the road. That is creating a working Hotspot using the same wifi card that's already in use and connected to a wifi already. Similar to windows 10. Let me 1st say this is not my work I did not create this. I was told it's not possible I even asked this sub and i got the same answers it's not possible on Linux not taking no for an answer I spent months upon months searching high and low. Until I found something here's the link. https://github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot for whatever reason you may want to have this be an option on your machine one day....
