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.

Fire mage seems redundant now

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

Yes

3.5

Yes, especially if they are uneducated and poor. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_India

I guess they can be forced by their family etc. Also this is part of a bigger discussion under Uniform civil code

Not exactly, but I get what you are telling

17.4% said ‘yes’, while 489 (6.1%) said ‘don’t know or can’t say’.

Battle for wesnoth seems to be available for mac as well

Also 0ad

Add some ribbons and stickers?

I specifically enable the KDE ones by one or two points on all my machines.

Not sure if they are useful, or publicly available.

Adding this in case you have not seen this before https://community.kde.org/Telemetry_Use

😅 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

Maybe Firefox Focus is what you are looking for. I use it to prevent random links from polluting my browser history. And seems to allow screenshots.
