Popular community site became unmentionable – the irony is thick enough to compile

    You mean a desktop application? If so you can use the web version, or even better, use Ferdium. It lets you connect to various messaging services and integrates them like a native desktop app.

      First time I heard of Ferdium. How’s your experience using it? How is it compared to, say, Beeper?

        I used ferdium and it used up alot of ram, beeper started breaking for me when doing simple things like refreshing chats.

        If only there was a non electron based whatsapp or all in one messaging client which is RAM efficient and snappy

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.
