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.

League of Legends being broken every patch (like right now). Or Linux not being the focus of the game devs most of the time. Screen sharing not working on discord. Adobe like apps not working on wine (no I won’t use GIMP. It’s easier for me to boot to windows than to learn the GIMP way)
The discord one is just the discord developers being lazy to be fair. Pretty much everything else has proper wayland screen sharing by now
Why make your app fully functional across all systems when instead you can make some custom mute-mic icons to sell for $120/year?
Just need to change electron versions iirc. I’d switch if my friends would too (said every privacy focused person about anything lol)
