How to Use Interrupted's File Host on Linux

Interrupted.me provides two options for Linux users to upload files:

1. Flameshot Uploader Script (ideal for most setups).
2. Grim Uploader Script (recommended for Arch-based systems or Wayland environments like Hyprland).

Both scripts are pre-configured with your API key when downloaded via the dashboard.

   • xclip: For copying the URL to the clipboard.
   • curl: For uploading the file.
   • jq: For parsing the JSON response.
   • Install the dependencies using your package manager:
     • On Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

       sudo apt install flameshot xclip curl jq
