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

Does that works for Wayland or X? or both?
Quite nice feature indeed.

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!

Did they also finally fix the AFK detection on Wayland?

[–] russjr08@bitforged.space 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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...

Works fine with a plugin, so clearly it can't be that hard.

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

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[–] dingleberrylover@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] derin@lemmy.beru.co 2 points 1 day ago

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 😂
