wslg VS Windows11Upgrade

WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.

For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

This is running in WSL?

Microsoft has some wayland stuff already for WSL, though I think internally there's RDP involved: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

That said. Graphical apps will just run on WSL without needing to install anything. Check: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

What are you talking about? Its free forever https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Actually, you can https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

See: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/563 and other similar issues on wslg GitHub.

Apparently, WSLg does away with the need for a separate X server, making things "easy" to use:

There's two completely different aspects to your question. 1) How to manage libraries in c++ without dying from cringe? I'd suggest you use cmake as the build system and grab library sources directly from GitHub using this tool: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake 2) How to get apps that run under WSL to display windows-native windows? I'm not sure, but it's probably this: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Here’s a thread about it. You can get into the underlying RDP session instead of just apps launching. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019

It's pretty trivial to upgrade to Windows 11 even with hardware that doesn't meet their requirements. Easiest way is to use https://github.com/coofcookie/Windows11Upgrade/releases/ or https://github.com/pbatard/rufus

If you computer runs 10, it can run 11 as well (with a little safe tweak). Check this https://github.com/coofcookie/Windows11Upgrade

https://github.com/coofcookie/Windows11Upgrade this let me upgrade my unsupported system without erasing anything

tbh I’m using 11 on a i5 and gtx 960 and it works fine, here’s the bypass for “unsupported” https://github.com/coofcookie/Windows11Upgrade/releases/tag/1.0.0

I used this yesterday and installed it on my two unsupported computers in like 3 clicks, without any mess with registry or files.

You’ll want this one, it patches setup.exe to think your compatible https://github.com/coofcookie/Windows11Upgrade
