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.

Once upon a time, ripcord was my favorite to use, unfortunately its been dead and dormant for over 2 years now. Id love to know if anybody knows any similar client (for example: be it in having custom design, or being super lightweight)

(yes, i know, you dont have to say i should use matrix or something else)

ArchWiki has a list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Third-party_clients

Ripcord is really unique and it's still my favorite third party client. Abaddon might be worth trying. Unfortunately, most other third party clients are wrappers.

How the hell does arch wiki have so much stuff? It’s nuts!

Someone somewhere had a problem, wanted it solved, and wrote it down, probably.

Get enough stubborn "someone"s with their own problems to solve, and I guess eventually you'll end up with the Arch wiki lol

Ripcord has been pretty great, but it hasn't been updated in a long time.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

tried out abaddon but it tells me it couldnt fetch the build number which increases chances of being flagged their github has one related issue with no solution
