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
Too late for those Nimrods.
Just use vencord or something that worked for ages.
thank FUCK
I like their UX, the button doesn't say "Share screen" but "Make Selection". On Element my dad every time has such a hard time to share the screen because even though he did it already a hundred times, he presses the share screen button and then waits, without choosing which window or screen to share.
you first click the "share screen" button, then it asks if you want to share a device, screen or window, then it shows you that screen, that summons a permission prompt tailored to what you selected recently.
I agree it's quite nice
Does that works for Wayland or X? or both?
Quite nice feature indeed.
both, i mentioned that in the body text
What about audio sharing?
also works, although it says audio "may not work in certain instances"
Audio sharing works, but appears to not allow selection of a specific audio stream, when I tested it just then it appears to share system audio. Vesktop still allows you to choose a specific stream. Still, this is a huge improvement over not working at all, and the "Entire Desktop" (3 screens) works, as well as "select region" sharing!
For me audio sharing doesnt work at all haha
Yes.
Oh my god, it's happening!
Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?
I'm not sure if this is actually possible - as far as I know, applications can't track key presses/mouse movement when their associated window isn't in focus. It'd be great if they just gave the option to disable the AFK detection since it doesn't work...
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 sweet jesus, it's finally happening! Huzzah! Rejoice!
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 😂
