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.

I moved back to Windows for the games years ago. But I'm never going to install a copy of Windows 11 because fuck that shit, and the next time I move to Linux, I suspect games won't be a problem.

Have they fixed Discord streaming yet?

From Linux, I've screen-shared my desktop in the web application for some years without troubles. Not even need to install the app.

I don't know if it's still needed or if discord updates to a newer version of electron that supports Wayland.

This should help if you need to support screen capture in x11 apps. XWayland video bridge

Haven't had any troubles screensharing on wayland, so I guess?
