  • Discord cant stream desktop audio at all on Linux aside from sharing a tab’s audio if you’re using Discord in a web browser. There are custom clients (like discord-screenaudio which OP mentioned) capable of doing this to some extent but they’re based on the web version of discord and lack features / can be buggy. Also these options don’t have hardware encoding so any fast moving content will become a choppy mess for the viewers.

    The other alternative on Linux is to just route the app’s audio into your mic source. Others will hear it but it will come out as if its your mic so even those not watching the stream will have to hear the stream audio unless they mute you.

    I’m well aware of its capabilities and it can do a lot, undoubtedly. I just imagine that if they’re going to a social media site to ask a question the goal is to have a person give them advice rather than being told to take the question elsewhere.

    But it is what it is, my reply wasn’t meant to be a diss on ChatGPT, it’s a cool tool. Just personal preference at the end of the day. For some things I could see myself using ChatGPT for convenience, for other things where I’m not so hellbent on saving time I find it much more fulfilling to research and gain a better understanding through my own searches or from interacting with others and getting different human perspectives on a topic.







  • I used to enjoy some of this dudes stuff but here and there I get the vibe that he’s talking out of his ass too often while still putting on like he’s some authoritative voice. If the setup was more “ha im just playing around and making a list for fun” rather than “this is how worthwhile each distro is” i don’t think he’d get as much heat for stuff like this.




  • Haha I’m right there with you. The timeline isn’t as vast but Arch ended my distrohoppong and NixOS is the only thing really catching my eye these days.

    I jumped around various Ubuntu spins, settled on Linux Mint for a while, tried out ElementaryOS for a brief moment, went back to Ubuntu spins then eventually went with Arch in 2019 and haven’t looked back.

    The immutability and configuration of Nix seems so appealing but at this point I’m really comfortable with Arch and it does everything I need in a pretty sane way so idk if I’d switch anytime soon.
