zoom-redirector VS wslg

This is a redirector extension to make it easier to join using the web client https://github.com/arkadiyt/zoom-redirector

Check out https://github.com/arkadiyt/zoom-redirector. You can also join meetings from https://pwa.zoom.us/wc/.

For video conference, my work use Zoom, and I just use zoom-redirector since Firefox's share-screen handling is better than the official apps or the snap/flatpak's handling for wayland at the moment. That said, I do keep Brave and Edge for a Chromium option when I have to deal with one vendor's Sharepoint and whatever other jank setups the vendors have for CRM and stuff.

But I use a browser extension: zoom redirector. This directly opens the zoom meeting when clicking a zoom link. Without this zoom tries multiple times to force the download of their client before even showing the link to the browser based meeting.

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
