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

Oh sweet jesus, it's finally happening! Huzzah! Rejoice!

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.

Yay I can finally uninstall Vesktop

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

It's not an official client, and non-official clients are against the ToS.

Discord's been nice about them so far, but at some point someone in or above that company is going to demand they start making a profit, and when that happens the amnesty custom clients are currently unofficially receiving will disappear.

Hopefully I can convince people to use Mumble with me 😂
