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.

Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux's permission prompts

Finally. I had it working after a bunch of workarounds recently, but it was not really stable.

Always remember, this is what we all deserve for using closed source apps.

Oh awesome, I’ve been using the webcord version as the others were all shit for screen sharing. Having said that even webcord also has weird sound issue sim hoping are fixed with this.

Vencord has had it forever. Just a community discord flathub.

Third party discord clients keep letting me down, not updating their electron version and breaking my system updates cause it's marked insecure

Browser version with extensions is the way to go

Yay I can finally uninstall Vesktop

I am using Vesktop, too. Why do you want to get rid of it?

i don't use it because my laptop is a toshiba from 2006 i think and it runs xubuntu which is pretty cool!! but discord runs a little bit slow so sadly no screensharing and anyway for most of my friends i use email to talk to them

you might be interested in matrix, it's like discord, but you have the option of using a super lightwheight client

Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch

I've been using the canary branch exclusively for about a year because of audio issues on the main one, I would genuinely be ecstatic if they finally ported over the fix because for some reason the canary branch refuses to auto upgrade and I have to do it manually every time.
