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

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

i used to have matrix in the past but people were insulting me and well i had to leave matrix sadly but i may go back to it in the meantime i prefer email i'm sorry!!

that's totally fine, no need to apologize, i tend to stay out of public matrix rooms too, too much toxicity

Except for the postmarketOS ones, they are very cool and non-toxic.

Do you really talk to your friends through email?

Voice recordings as email attachments, easy-peasy.
