Need to install a program? Here is a .deb file that you have to right click, allow execution.

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

Hey thanks for this tip!

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?

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!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
