I usually try to avoid bad habits like this but this time it was justified.

The Ubuntu laptop had to connect to company vpn. It were using openconnect-network-manager-gnome thingy to do that. Recently the company upgraded their vpn software which is sorta incompatible with openconnect and requires a modified user agent string for it to prompt for 2FA keys. package in ubuntu 22.04 is too old to modify that in the gui. I tried in the terminal manually, editing the config manually with vim and even dumping the config from my personal Arch laptop. We also tried proprietary Cisco AnyConnect but there is probably a server misconfiguration which causes the connection to drop and reconnect once a minute. In Ubuntu 24.04 it works given the user agent modification, and even though it was released a couple of weeks ago, LTS users don't get the update before mid August. So the easiest solution was to take the software compile it in the VM and use it there. It's a temporary solution but we had to have something working by the next morning. With such setup it's an annoyance to have password prompts show up. On top of that the keyboard is kinda fucked and some characters register multiple times making the situation with passwords even worse.

If you have a good idea what I could have tried let me know, love to hear new ideas.

Do anyone know if its open source by any chance?

curl cheat.sh/command is more useful because it just spits out common examples. man is only useful if you need complete documentation or need to build a complex oneliner.

I never remember hot to extract tar files. Would you dive into the documentation for that or look up a cheatsheet?

well, a computer contains sensitive information so it should always be encrypted. Even if you think you have nothing to hide

That is a classical windows mentality. "gnome is cheap macos clone". Gnome tries just to create a minimal and distraction free and polished DE. KDE tries to bulldose as many features as possible and that sacrifices stability and UX. Analogy would be similar to having a leaky water pipe in the roof. Gnome would fix the leaking pipe meanwhile KDE would give you a bucket and a few towels to clean that up in different ways.

"Installing APP does not require you to switch to it nor asking friends and family to use it. What it does is allowing them to reach out to you in a private way. By installing it you respect and support their choice of avoiding BAD_APP."

On the sidenote: Just recommend Signal. It uses phone number as identifier, easy to grow by using phone book, has good track record when glowies have a warrant and most importantly it's stable. It has flaws (no sms, not saving chat history) but there are no other alternatives available yet that beat signal for normies.
