Thing is rust desk is open source. Problem is that pop OS is missing dependencies that the program requires so it can't install. For life of me I can't get the nightly build to install that removes the requirements of pulseaudio.

I'm still learning terminal as it's been so long, years of alcohol abuse and age creeping up that my brain doesn't quite work as well it used to.
Usually there's a PPA that provides more up-to-date versions of the official packages.
But if you're talking nightly builds. PopOs (or Ubuntu, or Debian) are not really meant for that.

If there ever was a way to make synapses in brain multiply, regular use of the command line sure is one!

Hi,
I'm using linux less and less only reason I still have a couple ssd's with it is I don't have anything else to put on a couple 500gb 850 & 860 evo's so wake me up if anything exciting happens on linux because it's just boring atm :sleep:

I used to be a full time Linux user for about 4-5 years before I returned to Windows for multiple reasons. But even if it's not my daily driver I still use it a lot:
- My media server (a decommissioned HP Microserver from work) runs Arch Linux and has done so for nearly 5 years.
- I have WSL2 on all computers and use it regularly.
- I use live distros (mostly Fedora) for diagnostics and data recovery at work.

And I'm hoping to get a Steam Deck when they finally appear in my country.

My distro of choice is Fedora (used to be Arch) and my desktop environment of choice is KDE Plasma.
