@Dev-in-the-BM_2.0 if you tested it please let us know because I would like to dedicate a laptop to Linux but it will be much easier once I know this works

I mean, this would be awesome, but just know that alternatives exist if it doesn’t run nice. I use Windows in a VM with qemu. Almost no difference in speed than host. I got a couple windows vms for different purposes.

@sams-club

Installing now, so far very polished, at least as far as installation is concerned.

It users the other repo, dockur/windows as it’s installation base.

I’m using Ubuntu 24.04, and using Windows 11 LTSC for my winboat installation.

Looks like it uses an autounattemd.xml to breeze through windows installation.

I gave it 4 cores and 8gb ram.

Tip, you can use the flatpak version of freerdp for easier install

@Dev-in-the-BM_2.0 @sams-club

Alright, a report.

Installation was smooth.

Do not use their version of LTSC if you want LTSC, it’s an evaluation version and cannot be changed.

Opening apps natively on Linux does not work for me.

Using the freerdp client works very well, picture below:

Files from Linux are mounted as a network drive in Windows.

In short, for someone like me this setup doesn’t really give any benefits. For someone unfamiliar with alternatives, this is a very good option for having a near native Windows experience on Linux.

If they fix the opening of apps without being directly in a freerdp session, this will be golden.

Maybe it’s a flatpak issue with freerdp? I’ll troubleshoot permissions.

Trying now with Windows 10 LTSC 2021 (downloaded iso).

Btw, I doubt anything graphics heavy would run well. If you learn docker compose, you may be able to share your GPU, but I’m not 100 percent sure.

Update

Opening apps natively in my Linux desktop works on Windows 10 LTSC after some cajoling.

Going to install office and see how it runs.

Graphics (slightly) choppy is this version of Windows on freerdp

Some random display quirks, wouldn’t call it a “finished” project, but very usable. Apps take a few seconds to load from your linux desktop as well. Give it a go!

And now, for the grand finale, it’s time to uninstall everything.

I have a partition for Windows software I need. Don’t really like to mix and match.

I added the Edit functionality and changed that people don’t need to enter their access token because its already encrypted in the database

Accessibility scan for bad words in short…

Lol, anyone see such terms of use on Github?

yup

I totally agree to that idea

If I’m distributing OSS for free, why wouldn’t I use it to promote that type of thing?

Maybe I’ll put something on the readme’s of my Gtihub repos about the Skver mile.

Or anti DEI and Pride.

Yeah lol. I’m also near the mile, didn’t realize you lived in Monsey

I wanted to get TripleU to take down Meshimer from the Filter Installer over this..

I don’t think meshimer likes the website… :upside_down_face:

Unofficial GroupMe client.

Hasn’t been updated in a few years.

Tried it on qin 21 pro, couldn’t get it to work

Why does it ask for root

Root Requirement

If you are using ColorOS/OxygenOS 16, you don’t need root for basic features! You will still not be able to customize transparency mode and setup hearing aid, and use Bluetooth Multipoint. For everyone else:

Caution

You must have a rooted device with Xposed to use LibrePods on Android. This is due to a bug in the Android Bluetooth stack. Please upvote the issue by clicking the ‘+1’ icon on the IssueTracker page.

There are no exceptions to the root requirement until Google/your OEM figures out a fix.

Until then, you must xposed. I used to provide a non-xposed method too, where the module used overlayfs to replace the bluetooth library with a locally patched one, but that was broken due to how various devices handled overlayfs and a patched library. With xposed, you can also enable the DID hook enabling a few extra features
