kolourpaint expects The KDE desktop environment which isn't there in WSL. I would recommend either finding a guide focused on getting KDE or Flatpak working in WSL or simply installing a Hyper-V linux guest.
Or replacing Windows completely.

Like ???

Then you're missing a bunch of dependencies.

I do my entire work on WSL.

Are you running this in a container of some sort?

I work on my WSL terminal.

Have you used a terminal before? What OS/distro are you using?

This works on the WSL ?

If you have generated the SSH key, which they describe in a linked article, then you just enter the "ssh" command they list in this article to confirm that it's working.

You'll probably have some sort of virtual terminal program in your desktop environment that'll bring up a prompt that probably ends in a dollar sign where you can enter bash commands. If you're using KDE, it'll be "Konsole". If GNOME, I believe it's "GNOME Terminal".

Actually l don't understand how to proceed with the steps involved.

What do you mean “how do I make use of this link”? Are you struggling with the directions in the link? Have you already done some of the instructions? Are you trying to use this link in a different way?

I wonder.... could risk live repartitioning, and creating a partition for the bootable install media and another to install to... [0] and manage to jiggle the bios (and/or whatever bootloader) to boot into that partition, same as if booting from dvd or usb, and proceed to install from there... as ever, and especially with a move like live repartitioning, backup everything first. ... though, backup to where... if a meagre usb pendrive's considered too pricey, it seems unlikely there's adequate backup capacity around. ... or maybe just yet to encounter (and thus appreciate) the utility of a (or two) usb pendrive(s)? It has posed an interesting challenge though, once the usb pendrive hand is tied behind our back. And presumably dvd install's not direct from online enough either. ... Virtualbox's direct from online, without even rebooting.. though then that's just in your virtualbox, nor running direct on metal. ... Sorry, rambling broadly about the op question here, instead of specifically replying to that reply.

[0:... Though as I think of that my brain starts shouting "just install gentoo". No, brain. That's not what op asked for.]

I switched to Debian a few days ago :D I am thinking of posting in this sub again but wanted to give it a few more days. But yes, still using Linux daily.

Still going strong?

I'd just download an iso, carefully dd it to a small USB pendrive, boot into it, run the installer, installing to the main drive (or another larger usb). I wonder... many ways one could accomplish this with help of a virtual machine intermediary stage.

:3

1st step:

Install gentoo (stage3).

2nd step:

Hijack with bedrock.

3rd step:

Fetch any debian or devuan.

4th step:

Change repos & add things

Ta-da!

;D

Now your MX Linux, installed "directly" online, also has gentoo and bedrocklinux capabilities too. ;)

More "sane"(?) methods may exist, but just for breadth-of-possibilities and whimsy, I offered this alternative route. ;)

Yes.

If i download a windows version of unetbootin, i can use it on my current windows 10 laptop ?

Any pendrive doesn't come less than INR600-700. Anyways, i found out one having 29.2 GB of free space.

That's what I guessed and decided to talk about the 8 € as big money. Because when I was living in Ukraine, where some people had a monthly salary of 70 €, it was indeed big money.

But anyway, you can get a used pendrive for 40 INR for sure. No need to pay 700 for a new one with 64 GB, if a used one with 4 GB suffices for your needs :)

It's said that €5 isn't a lot of money, but a standard pendrive wouldn't come less than ₹700-800, and that's a lot of money.

New ones are something like 64 GB and do indeed cost some 8 € or so, but since you only need some 4 GB, you can find a used one for 0,50 € or so :)

A pendrive is a pretty expensive item. Nevertheless, it's probably the best method to install Linux.

I guess that's the word, yes.

A thingy you plug into an USB port for saving files on it.

I want MX Linux as the heart of all my work.
