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.

[solved] Issues with Discord (lemmy.ca)

Hey all, had some weirdness with the native discord app on Arch today. Was trying to screen share and discord just noped, went hunting for logs but no dice. I tried a few different programs with screen share, but it just seems to completely nuke disord. Any ideas? Anyone else have the same issue? Any clue where I might find crash logs?

Edit: installed Vesktop, problem went away, thanks everyone for the input.

I'd also suggest giving vesktop a try which is a 3rd party discord client, it has some features for fixing certain oddball things that may crop up as well as just various typical 3rd party client things like plugins.

Discord used to say nope to 3rd party clients but there was a change in their tos a few years ago where they are accepted and nearly encouraged.

I actually did install Vesktop a few minutes ago, seems like everything is working the way I expect it to. And I installed kooha to do screen capture, as Spectacle has no audio capture currently on Wayland.

Vencord is great but sadly it doesn't support global hotkeys so PTT doesn't work.

Also you aren't able to increase volume for a person greater than 100%, which sucks when some people just are too quiet.

You can increase the volume by just enabling the plugin VolumeBooster in Vesktop. Then you can increase it up to 400%.

Thank you! This plugin wasn't available for a while as the devs had some technical hurdles to overcome, but I'm glad they were able to figure it out!
