Using distrobox we are able to install VMware horizon client on the Steam Deck, without it breaking on image updates. Surprisingly, I found using a Arch container image to be the smoothest option. This will also work on Fedora Atomic Desktop.
VMware Horizon Client on Wayland
Sometimes the field to input username and password on Vmware horizon client on Wayland is not visible. This is a known issue and the workaround is to use Xorg instead of Wayland. But I do not want to use Xorg, just to make this one appliaction work. So I found a workaround. Basically you need to set the username, password, rsa token and server address in the cli. Here is an example:
vmware-view -s <serveraddress> -t <username> -p <password> -n <desktopName> --singleAutoConnect -c <RSA token>
This is not a perfect solution, because it is a bit clunky.
Buying a treadmill in 2023
Buying a Treadmill in Norway in 2023
From time to time, I get asked which treadmill to buy. I don't typically run much inside, but in 2022, we bought a treadmill to be able to run when our daughter was asleep and it was only one of us at home. Being a nerd, I used some time to learn about the different treadmill technologies.
Of course, everyone's needs and wallets are different. This text is for someone who wants to buy a treadmill to have at home for a long time, doesn't care about how big it is, don't like doing much maintenance and doesn't mind spending too much money on it.
