If you are finding using windows FW hard, you could try https://github.com/pylorak/TinyWall

Meant to say a guo DE, not sure you can run plasma/jde on that, maybe with vnc/rdp? But still its with x11 server iirc.

TIL, thanks.

Is it pre installed nowadays? I rember having to go to some store and doing stuff to get it…

Mounts and networks should be just checkboxes, dropdowns iirc.

Terminals are probably better on linux anyway, if we really want the stone age windows tools we can always ssh into it from windows.

I didnt really get the gui part, linux vm can have, and run GUIs, all the intellij stuff are available for linux natively. Even then iirc they can run with any linux remotely as well, just needs ssh. If you need it to run on windows like native apps, maybe use Xserver via ssh.

As far as quirks I read some comments in this thread about filesystem being too slow, maybe there are more.

And now that i have typed all these, if you want it to look and feel exactly as windows withput any compromise, idk…

I wouldnt say a lot, maybe its more, but i would estimate 15min for wsl2 vs 45min for virtual box. Plus you get lot more featues than plain wsl2 and its quirks.

At this point i would just install a linux distro like ubuntu/debian/arch as a VM on virtualbox/vmware/hyperv and do it from there, WSL2 is supposed to be custom ubuntu minus gui running on hypervany way.

Hey, dont decide based on my comment alone, lol.

Suse tumbleweed is kinda bad though. The docs are always outdated with broken links. nothing works out of the box. Yaast is kind of clunky, and looks ancient, looks wise. Updates are slow and I got tired real fast resolving broken dependncies.

Their plasma+firefox patches nice though.

I just checked Japan, India, Brazil. They dont operate there…

Not sure, but, I dont think any of them are available outside usa/europe. Lenovo has more global coverage

You mean the nipple mouse?

Have you tried specifying your preferences in the config file and letting DNSCrypt find the best server?

Can you elaborate a bit on this? This isbwaht i have been trying to do. When it starts up it checks latency from the lists i have provided and uses them some order.

My internet provider loves to hijack DNS requests. It desn’t matter if I use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 it gives the same poisoned reply with e.g “As per court orders this website is blocked”.

Just glanced through it, but I think my setup is quite similar. Haven’t compared feature wise.

client -> pihole (docker) -> dnscrypt-proxy (docker)

And dnscrypt-proxy can be given a list of DoH, DNSCrypt servers it chooses based on some scheme

Add some ribbons and stickers?

😅 ok, this is not for me then, i have set my fdroid app to check once every week.

Why would I use this? How’s this different from using e.g izzyOnDroid’s repo that also collects releases from github?

The clickbaity video on the readme doesnt help.

If you are using kde plasma

Right? Phone hardware should be sold separately from its software.

Maybe drwing in, or just throwing a bone. But I think there are more things unsaid. What does it mean to pakistan, china and russia.

Apart from the cli, gitk and git-gui are plenty good in my opinion, they could always be made better. And they are mostly always there with git Only thing I am miasing now is blame.
