Linux

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.

As someone who only occasionally uses Discord, I honestly didn't even know they had a desktop version of their app. I've always used it in the browser. Why do they even have a desktop version of their webapp?

The desktop version uses Electron, a shitty Chromium + Node.js framework for devs that really only want javascript and web tech
