Rdp server is the way then. xrdp for example

Probably shouldn't have access to that either if your IT department is doing a good job.

True, but it doesn't work for some apps in my experience

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Idk, mb some system-ish stuff? Otherwise it should work ~fine since wsl[2] is just a VM and not like a piece of art like wine

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'll try again some time to check, but last time I had trouble with some apps installed on openSUSE WSL, like some theming issues and some apps not opening (probably relying on system components as you say)

There’s probably some random config file on a forum post 18 years old where half the images don’t load cause the hosting service they used for image went down

Are there any simple instructions. I swear everything is seen just goes over my head.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

WSL is really easy to setup by now. In the beginning it was really terrible.

Now all you need to do (if you are fine with Ubuntu) is open CMD with admin rights and input wsl --install.

If you want another distro, it's wsl -l -o to check the available distros and wsl --install -d to install it.

More documentation here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Thanks. I'll check it out.

I'd rather die.
