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.

screenshare with audio when

When they decide to use Electron that's not 5 major versions out of date, but that's not happening

I will never not hate Javascript. I hate all web dev nonsense. What a huge mess that all is.

Javascript itself is not the issue. You can have horrible code written in any language, and this is exactly what this is. The management behind Discord are sinking the company

Here we see the average JS hater, unaware of that which they criticize. Luckily, a new framework will be released before the coming winter to provide them with sustenance.

They're already using an Electron version that supports audio sharing iirc, they just default to their custom implementation which doesn't work on Linux

You could route your desktop audio into your mic, with the big downside thst the other party wont be able to control the volume independently.

I found discord-screenaudio to be a better solution.
