Full desktop shell in WSL2 using WSLg (XWayland)

Note

If you want to use Wayland in WSLg in a simpler setup, you can try the WSLg (Wayland) tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv or GWSL) is required. You will find this tutorial very similar to the one that replaces Xorg with Xvnc. Indeed, it's pretty much the same tutorial, with some few changes.

The key component we need to install is the desktop metapackage you want (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Budgie, etc), and after that, replace the default Xorg by a script that calls Xwayland instead.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 24.04, and install GNOME Desktop. Unfortunately older versions of Ubuntu lack some fundamental things, so we cannot reproduce it in older versions (at least not fully). Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the [Sample screenshot

Cryptiiiic

Unfortunately I have some bad news for downgrading.
Before I explain the bad news at the end of this post, I first need to introduce a background of iOS devices.
In iOS 16, Apple introduced a new firmware component known as Cryptex1. Technically, this is a "virtual" co-processor.
It's purpose is to allow Apple to push RSRs (Rapid Security Responses) which are separate from traditional iOS updates and can be installed much faster.
Like other firmwares, it also has a signing ticket locked to a cryptographic nonce (number-used-once).
We commonly refer to the Apple signing tickets as SHSH blobs.
Meaning the firmware can't be installed without a valid signing ticket as well as a matching nonce.
The "big two" components we deal with signing/nonces are AP and SEP. AP is basically the main device chip (Application Processor).
SEP is the security chip (Secure Enclave Processor).
With regards to APNonce, Apple conveniently gave us the com.apple.System.boot-nonce NVRAM property which we use to set the APNonce generator.

Reverse engineering a search bar into PlayStation Plus

---

🆕 @MaciekBaron reimagined this gist in https://github.com/MaciekBaron/PSPLUSTilesTheme with a cleaner and more efficient implementation. Give it a go!

---

The reimagined PlayStation Plus service is finally here!

However, PC users are stuck with a reskin of the old, not-so-great PlayStation Now launcher. It's built with Electron, so it's bound to eat up your RAM. But worse of all, even now as the library clocks at 700+ games, Sony still refuses to add a search function.
