 ==== Relaunch KDE Plasma after freeze ====
 Sometimes after some weeks of uptime when I entered my office in the morning, I discovered a freezed Plasma.
 To fix this, enter the system via SSH and then execute this command:
-<code bash>sudo service sddm stop</code>
+<code bash>sudo systemctl restart sddm</code>
+And without re-login:
+<code bash>
+kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell
+</code>

-<code bash>nmcli device wifi show-password</code>
