  • I was using the Cisco AnyConnect Client for Linux during the last months, which was in general working, but had a few major bugs. Most important: whenever you disconnected (also by just switching to another network), you would have to completely restart the computer to make the VPN work again.
  • If you're running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don't need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
  • But it does look like it is something with my setup (which is the exact same setup as it was on my 19.10 machines) combined with something with Xubuntu 20.04 compared to 19.10 that makes Anyconnect (at least 4.6) have some issue that causes a 10-15 second delay at launch.
  • WSL2 and the Ubuntu 20.04 image just worked and ran smoothly and quickly. Combined it with the release version of Windows Terminal it was a real delight. I also went and grabbed Docker Desktop for Windows as it now has support for WSL2 as the underlying system.
