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
Vencord has had it forever. Just a community discord flathub.
For some reason my screen share freezes for others on vesktop.
Yeah, I've been using Vesktop/Vencord all this time. Has more features than Discord with Nitro. No reason to really switch back to the official client.
About fucking time
Just installed Canary on my system to test this, and while it's a little janky and the hardware acceleration seems to stop other apps using the GPU at the same time this is still good enough I think I can finally move to Linux as my main OS. I assume this will get polished further in the future. Great stuff though.
THIS prevented you from switching?
Afaik screenshare always worked when using Discord in a browser
I like their UX, the button doesn't say "Share screen" but "Make Selection". On Element my dad every time has such a hard time to share the screen because even though he did it already a hundred times, he presses the share screen button and then waits, without choosing which window or screen to share.
you first click the "share screen" button, then it asks if you want to share a device, screen or window, then it shows you that screen, that summons a permission prompt tailored to what you selected recently.
I agree it's quite nice
thank FUCK
Too late for those Nimrods.
Just use vencord or something that worked for ages.
Finally, Tho i dont use the desktop app anymore. (Hint electron)
Does that works for Wayland or X? or both?
Quite nice feature indeed.
Finally! =D
What about audio sharing?
also works, although it says audio "may not work in certain instances"
Oh my god, it's happening!
