Whenever I try to go full Linux, 80% of the time I revert back to Windows due to lack of compatibility with games. The other 20% Is due to something breaking or being a pain in the ass to get working. Need to install a program? Here is a .deb file that you have to right click, allow execution. Then you go to execute it and it opens in a text document that has a run button that ends up taking 2 hours to load and ends up failing. Turns out you could go to terminal, CD to the file location and it seems to install.

Don’t do this if you can avoid it. If you want to install something use the application store installed on your distro. This way the dependencies will be handled. Installing using a Deb file should be the last option or second last option
After being on Lemmy for the last month, it has really driven me to try out Linux again. I’ve spun up unbuntu (Desktop) on my home server and currently utilizing it as my docker host.
My server is a bare-metal host with ESXi so I’m interacting with it via the VMRC Client. This works great for doing what I am doing but the latency is a bit to much for using it for my day to day workload. if I could get a proper remote console setup using some native built in protocol that has low latency. I’d be happy to use it for my day to day operation on top of my Windows OS…any suggestions?

But wait! 10 dependencies are missing.

Hey thanks for this tip!

Use screen sharing in gnome and RDP.
Silly me. I didn’t realize there was a prebaked setting already in Ubuntu… I’ll give this a shot! Thank you!
Or just AUR.
