GlobalProtect-openconnect VS WhiteSur-gtk-theme

In order to reach a client's domain for a project, my team needs to use a VPN and the instructions were pretty clear regarding which tool to use - GlobalProtect VPN - so I've installed https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect and was able to connect successfully.

Use this one instead https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect

Sometimes you may want to use some software in your project, but the maintainer(s) may have some functional affiliation(s) that makes it difficult to use without significant security assessment effort.

Example here: GlobalProtect is VPN software from Palo Alto Networks, but the maintainer of this open source client is based in China. He may be a fine, upstanding person, the code may be pristine, but there's systemic risk that needs to be bought down.

What are your tools of choice to assess something like this?

Ooh yes I recently went through this. This is the one that finally worked: https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect

I've seen this on Linux too, specifically with this VPN application https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect

Closing it via the "x" will minimize to tray and hide (which is the behavior I want, but an example nonetheless)

I work for a Uni running eduroam. Mine isn't hostile to Linux, but it is definitely a second class citizen. I run Linux where I can. I don't know where you are, but openconnect can probably work for you. Specifically, I use https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect/ on top of openconnect for SAML auth. Might be worth the try for you.

I'm not familiar with the service and software can only be downloaded and installed via the customer portal. Would something like GlobalProtect-openconnect or gp-saml-gui suffice?

Solution to the GlobalProtect problem is to install the non-official client https://github.com/yuezk/GlobalProtect-openconnect and follow the fix in issue #142 on the github repo.

Gnome Shell Theme: WhiteSur Theme with modified accent colors from the .css file where I changed the green color (had installed the green varient) with the baby blue/almost cyan color.

Then this is where you want to report it

If you like the aesthetics of MacOS, you could try Big Sur Theme. In the repo there are instructions on how to apply the theme into gtk3 and gtk4 apps and also on libadwaita apps.

I have written https://taoofmac.com for the last 20 years, and have spent the last year progressively using GNOME and Fedora more and more.

I use the WhiteSur GTK theme (https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme) so that I don't have to decipher the nuances of the standard GNOME iconography (some of it is... well, not as pretty, and definitely not as intuitive).

I love this setup, but if GNOME decides to keep breaking user themes, I will have to look elsewhere (most likely a different Fedora spin, although definitely not KDE).

Thank you, I am looking for stylepak. Moreover I corrected the spelling error in the post! with "--flatpak" option I was referring to the Readme of the WhiteSur gtk theme, but actually looking into the install.sh there is no option for it.

Close to macOS is just the rice I use https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme
