WSL 2 GNOME Desktop

NOTE: If you want the ultimate Linux desktop experience, I highly recommend installing Linux as your main OS. I no longer use Windows (except in a VM) so I will not be maintaining this guide anymore.

Think Xfce looks dated? Want a conventional Ubuntu experience? This tutorial will guide you through installing Ubuntu's default desktop environment, GNOME.

pfSense on a Mac Pro 1.1 (2006)

Why pfSense on this Mac? Isn't this overkill with it's Xeon processor? Well, it's got two Intel gigabit NIC's, it's quiet, and can handle any additional packages I decide to install. It's also going to replace my existing Zotac Zbox CI325 (which I want to use for other things).

Some key points to consider when setting up the Mac Pro:

If you don't already have a good working video card (because you bought it second-hand), the ATI Radeon 5770 works great.
The boot EFI on this Mac must be 32-bit, so booting into a 64-bit bootable USB is just a no go.
There are sites which could help you build a bootable USB (https://mattgadient.com/linux-dvd-images-and-how-to-for-32-bit-efi-macs-late-2006-models/ and https://mesom.de/efi32boot/index.html), but these will not work well with the pfSense ISO or IMG.

Ubuntu/Debian Offline Repository Creation Gist

When I googled how to create my own offline repository of packages for use in an offline Ubuntu/Debian machine, the results where disheartening and the steps to be taken scattered all over the place.

The files within this gist will allow you to:

Download specific apt-get packages... with dependencies included!
Create a Packages.gz file so that you can add the repository folder you create to the target machine's /etc/apt/sources.list file.
