Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Once upon a time, ripcord was my favorite to use, unfortunately its been dead and dormant for over 2 years now. Id love to know if anybody knows any similar client (for example: be it in having custom design, or being super lightweight)

(yes, i know, you dont have to say i should use matrix or something else)

I've been using Webcord with substantial improvements from the native Discord app.

isnt webcord just a wrapper for the, well, web version?

Yeah think so but with extra privacy hardening features and especially useful Screensharing on Wayland! I don't know if there is an alternative to it for Screensharing on wayland

Well it works better than the native and I can't share screen on discord on the browser so it works for me.

The flatpak crashes for me since some time sadly. I'm just using a basic chromium browser and their (shitty) webapp

The appimage seems solid for me thus far, installed through this handy tool.
