How to use shadow.tech on Debian with KDE

TLDR:

~/bin/shadow.tech/ShadowPC.AppImage --trace-warnings --unhandled-rejections=strict --password-store=gnome &

Shadow is a remote machine service that let's one stream a full windows 10 desktop machine with an okay graphics card for a fee.

This is perfect for medium gaming, blender, smallish LLM toys or video editing.

Running outside of Ubuntu Gnome requires some extra flags, that are not documented publicly.

Otherwise the session does not stick and one has to login every time the application starts.

Tutorial

Store the App image in your home under the folder bin/shadow.tech/ and make it executable with

chmod +x ~/bin/shadow.tech/ShadowPC.AppImage

Now we can force it to use the gnome keyring for storing the session cookies.

Finally, run it with the command from the top of the article or make a script containting that command to double click for ease of use.
