The "problem" is that most people only want an app that does everything, and I'm sure some of my friend don't want to have two app to do the same thing one app can do.

I prefer to have two perfect app for one task, but not everyone want this.

This is a feature I really love on Discord and this is one I try to find, but like you say I dont find any alternative as good.

I need to give a try, I know by name but never use it.

I presume you can make call, good audio and screen share ?

Hi everyone,

I just had my account deactivated from Discord for ToS violation (I didn't do anything wrong, I just tried to send a friend request), but that's not the most important thing.

Now that I no longer have an account, and I've been wanting to leave Discord for a while for a better, self-hosted, open-source alternative, this is the best time.

I know of Matrix, XMPP servers and applications that work very well, but none of them work in the same way, or have the same feel as Discord. I see more alternatives for professional use than for gamers or communities.

Revolt exists, but last time I checked, you can't really host it yourself, and I haven't read good things about it. (I don't remember the website listing all the negative aspects.)

That brings me to my two questions.

  1. Can you list some alternative to Discord that I probably don't know ?
  2. If you want a alternative to Discord, what are your requirements to using it ? I'm not saying I can or will, but I think I can try to create one.

PS: I already trying to get my account back (but I have the same response from the support and I can't send request to "Appeals & Age Update Requests" because of ToS violation) and even if I manage to get it back I really want to leave discord right now.

Okay, let's compare KDE and Ubuntu, as I understand it.

From what you said, the terminal reminds you than a Pro version exist, and that you can buy it. => This is a ads, they try to sell their product to you.

More question for the Ubuntu parts:

  • How often does this happen ? Just once a year ?

KDE send a notification once a year to say they need donation, help for translation, coding, writing documentation, and more. => This is not a ads, this is a message to get help and donations, and only once a year.


If you don't see the big difference between the two things, i don't know how to make it more clear with other words.

I don't use Ubuntu, and if some parts are wrong, I wait for corrections !

Normally I don't change the names that the distribution gives to the hostname, but I've been thinking for a while about changing the names to mythological gods or Latin tree names only for server and SBC.

The only server for which I have changed the host name is now r5700server. r5700 for the processor (Ryzen 7 5700), and server because it's a server.

What I meant was that if he wants to try out Gnome, he should install only few extensions to have a vanilla experience. Then he can install the extensions he wants. I would have said the same thing for KDE or any DE.

"Try first without tweak and when it's work and you like it, try modify" something like this.

I don't really use KDE, and if I forgot some really crucial information thanks to correct me.
You can use the KDE spin version of Fedora with plasma 6, or if you love the rolling release of Arch you can try openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE (you choose you desktop environment at installation).

And for what you going to loose if you go to GNOME :

  • HDR (you can enable HDR experimental on mutter but not working for me).
  • VRR (it's experimental on GNOME and work for me).
  • You need extensions to customize your desktop, its not really a problem but some people don't want to many extensions (like me).
  • Customization in KDE that you don't find in gnome, even in extensions.
  • For Krunner you can use meta button to open gnome overview and start typing to find app.

And if you want to try GNOME try to stay the most "vanilla" possible. Some extensions I use :

They're working for me on PC.

We've already tried ZeroTier a long time ago, and it works well, but if you want to add another person to the game, it's a "lot" of steps before you can play. You're probably right that the best solution would be to use ZeroTier, but it's not the most practical for everyone. At least that's my opinion.
And you need to install a new application just to play with others, which is not what I want.

That's a good news.

I'm going to look at Tailscale Funnel and I don't want my friends to have to install software to play.

Hello everyone :D

I’m looking to host some gaming servers to play with my friends (minecraft, enshrouded, and others), and some apps (paperless-ng, jellyfin, seafile, etc.). Each game server must be accessible from the Internet, but only certain applications will be accessible (jellyfin, etc.)

I don't want to open any ports on my router or share my public IP. I already have a domain name, and I'm thinking of using some VPS to host a reverse proxy with tailscale or netbird.

For the VPS, I'm thinking of using OVH with unlimited bandwidth. I already have the domain name here, and I live in France where the servers are.

A few questions :

  • Is this a good idea ? Any better solution is welcome.
  • I don't really know how I'm going to redirect subdomains to use the correct reverse proxy. Local DNS on the VPS ?
  • Tailscale or Netbird ? (I actually don't have any idea)
  • Won't using Tailscale or Netbird like this cause performance losses on game servers ?

Reverse proxy :

  • nginx for application
  • infrared or gate for minecraft server
  • Others for different game servers if needed.
