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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

Fuck discord.
What alternative would you suggest if I just want to talk to my mates while gaming? I gave up on setting up TeamSpeak after like an hour and many crashes and errors. I was a TeamSpeak fan for many years when using windows, but on Linux I highly dislike it.
Guilded is a much better alternative. Gives you all the Nitro stuff for free. But ultimately is a for-profit company owned by ~~MS~~ Roblox so it's destined for the same shitty fate in the future. Their monetization model is more like Patreon where people pay to support their favorite communities.
Matrix is another one but its incredibly slow and incredibly lacking in features and not nearly as private as it's made out to be.
Best case scenario you can self-host rocket.chat
In my eyes that makes it even worse
Yeah sorry, I'm misremembering.
