ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3 VS Notepad3

distrobox to manage the container: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox Then just install XFCE and tiger VNC server inside it. Using VNC makes it easy to connect into a little isolated session that has its own theming, etc. vs. trying to send geany to my native X11/wayland server.

You could also just run it in a browser window with a VNC HTML bridge, this would be a good base for that: https://github.com/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3

The easiest way to get Chicago95 setup is to run its GUI installer python script. I don't try to script it in a dockerfile or container setup.

I use some projects that use vnc and also have setup novnc on them..

Here’s an example of one, https://github.com/accetto/ubuntu-vnc-xfce-g3

Novnc just allows accessing things via a browser too. I use it for quick checks but VNC when I want a client

I've found this to be a very good solution. It is a headless VNC connection that boots with docker. It was inspired from this project where someone created the same thing. However, in the first link, they went back and made the box more stable and overall it performs better in my experience.

GitHub / Docker Hub

I use Notepad3 to stay as close to vanilla as possible but to fix the idiotic drawbacks of Windows Notepad.

Notepad3 is actively maintained and has many improvements, BTW.

The current, active continuation is Notepad3: https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3

I prefer the lighter replacements (notepad2, notepad3, metapad) on Windows, simply because Notepad++ seems to always have something to update when I start it on a server. Otherwise it's fine, but not a CLI editor.

Already using notepad3 on my systems but that doesn't help when remoting to somewhere else.

If you run into any other issues they have an active github https://github.com/rizonesoft/Notepad3/issues and the developer seems to fix things quickly.
