windows terminal annoyances

• disable terminal bell in advanced part of settings (in french it is under style de notification Bell)
• ctrl+v and ctrl+c in ubuntu breaks basically.. most of linux so you can edit windows terminal and comment out:

1. open up with vscode or notepad code %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json
2. comment out the following lines:

{ "command": { "action": "copy", "singleLine": false }, "keys": "ctrl+c" },
{ "command": "paste", "keys": "ctrl+v" },

running docker in WSL without relying on docker desktop

I tend to avoid docker desktop, it is a good product and I would gladly pay 5 a month for my own usage, but I am not as certain about the licensing situation for my own jobs. So for my work computer I use the following workaround:

1. install docker-ce https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/
2. make sure you add the group for your user since this will all excute at login
3. on debian you need to do touch /etc/fstab, update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy and update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy
4. then add this to your $HOME/.bashrc:

sudo service docker status || sudo service docker start

issues with wifi speed in wsl2

• in a powershell terminal with administrator rights enter Disable-NetAdapterLso -Name "vEthernet (WSL)", the differential between windows and wsl should vanish pretty quickly

issues with wifi speed in general

• disable wifi-6. This seems to work consistently and has been an issue across several devices
• disconnect reconnect. This works for awhile, seems the driver has an issue with some state and this can make the biggest difference:

microphone issues

• updated audio driver to latest (something .17 iirc fixed it)
• get external usb-c audio device (not the type that come with your android phone, these are just passthrough and will not work, you need effectively an external sound card, I bought this one https://www.fnac.com/Adaptateur-USB-Type-C-Satechi-ST-UCAPDAM-vers-audio-jack-3-5-mm-et-USB-C-PD-30W-Gris/a16456363/w-4#omnsearchpos=1 )
