Honestly I'd love for more Linux-only apps to be available on Windows, so, when I'm forced to use it, I can still get the same awesome libre apps I'm enjoying on Linux.
Despite that, I still haven't had the balls to open a single issue anywhere to support Windows 👀

Real winners download the source code and compile it from scratch to flex on proprietary software users

I install windows from command line only

Reject modernity; Return to MS-DOS

it requires admin permissions... and on the only place where i'm forced to use windows i don't have those

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.

I'd rather die.

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

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

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year 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

[-] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] squaresinger@feddit.de 3 points 1 year 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.
