Despite all the warnings not to install kali linux, I decided to install kali linux and I am now encountering an issue I would not face had I chosen to use a linux distro designed with normal desktop use in mind. Can anyone help me?

Actually, modern kali is a lot more usable than the older kali. Kali used to only have a root user, so chromium and electron apps wouldn't start since they don't run as root.

Despite this, nowadays I generally recommend new people away from kali, because I believe the process of installing the tools that kali provides on other distros is a valuable learning experience.

Kali is great for the professional, but but learners I prefer they get to experience the package manager or other aspects of system management.

UWP 💀

UWP is Microsoft's "new" app format, it's what the windows store and the xbox use.

It also isn't compatable with wine, and my pet theory is that this was the entire point of it. Combined with Windows S mode, which doesn't let you install apps other than from the windows store, the goal was to lock down the windows ecosystem by having apps that can't be made to run on linux.

I remember seeing a compatability layer for UWP apps a while ago, and I am pleased to see that it has come this far. Great work!

Edit: wait this uses a windows VM. Still good though and lets people escape the windows ecosystem.

Why did you link to a knot that's not the ian knot?

I used to triple tie my shoes, but they would keep getting untied. After I learned a balanced ian knot my shoes would never get untied again.

Balanced friction > total friction

Both have products with varying degrees of quality. Don't follow companies around, follow specific named model lines instead.

I don't really understand why this is a concern with docker. Are there any particular features you want from version 29 that version 26 doesn't offer?

The entire point of docker is that it doesn't really matter what version of docker you have, the containers can still run.

Debian's version of docker receives security updates in a timely manner, which should be enough.

I recommend libvirt + virt-manager as an alternative to hyper v.

The cool thing about virt manager is you can do it over ssh.

You are adding a new repo, but you should know that the debian repos already contain docker (via docker.io) and docker-compose.

I use authentik, which emables single sign on (the same account) between services.

Authentik is a bit complex and irritating at times, so I would recommend voidauth or kanidm as alternatives for most self hosters.

Except debian testing doesn't receive security updates in a timely manner.

It's designed exclusively for testing, not really for people to actually use it.

Would you use the cli?

One of the cool things I liked about calibre is that extensions worked via the cli interface as well, which made it easy to do batch workflows of operations on ebooks.

No, they added a beta vpn feature.

Does it require docker installed and being in the docker group, with the docker daemon running?

Just an FYI, having the ability to create containers and do other docker is equivalent to root: https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/#docker-daemon-attack-surface

It's not really accurate to say that your playbooks don't require root to run when they basically do.
