I noticed the instructions under Discord do not mention the Linux OS at all -
Well I just tried it with with Linux Mint, and it worked fine - so I would say it is likely to work fine with any Ubuntu or Debain based distro of Linux.
A Linux Discord client (.deb file type) can be downloaded from discord site once that is installed (and you are logged on to a discord account), just follow the same instruction for the other OSes to add ADISC to it (the link even added it automatically to my client).
That’s generally true - but everyone can draw a blank from time to time. (even on things they have done lots of times before)
There is also always going to be SOME exception - yes in general most people using Linux in the first place are pretty tech minded people, but there are some cases that’s not true - in fact it has gained users that are not since Wndows XP started with their WGA (Window Genuine Advantage). It’s still not in large numbers - but WAY more than it once was - and it is way easier to use than it use to be as well - they all seem to boot in to a GUI desktop now - I can remember you use to have to manually start the X-server from console mode, and manually edit the configuration files. - You would likely be surprised just how many no nothings (when it comes to computers in general) have asked me to put a distro of Linux on a Laptop after Windows got totally f**ked up on them thanks to a virus, and just didn’t want to deal with it any more. - This is even more likely once they find out you can get Office suites for Linux that will read/create the same type of files that MS Office will, and at no charge.
started with BeOS , sad day when development ended, red hat, Debian and so many others over the years, I have progressed to a compile of PCLinux , it works and doesn’t mess with my Microsoft OS’s on the same pc.
Linus Thorvalds would probably be disappointed with my install, but it works for me.
and yes , windows is and will always be “a dirty filthy virus”
Isn’t Discord available via the repositories? In modern GNU/Linux distros, it’s best to use the package manager rather than manually downloading and installing programs.
It likely depends on the distro - it sure was not when I looked for it on Mint (19.3), but once the .deb file was dled, just click it, and the installer opens automatically, and found all the dependency files it needed (that were not installed yet) to make it work. However, not that I want to put it on this - but I THINK I saw it while looking for something else, as I was adding some stuff to my GParted Live boot (That is Debian based).
Libre Office for me.
I remember BeOS, never REALLY liked the look and feel of it. But actually it is still being developed, but now it’s a free Linux distro (With a differant name) - forget what it’s called now, but have had copies to play with plenty of times, you can find it on DistroWatch . - Mint is my main distro - but got plenty of space to multi-boot, and I do play with quite a few at times. I don’t use Windoze at all - I do not get forced in to it either because every machine I have had since the late '80s has been a home built desktop, or a used laptop that had a bad hard drive - so Linux only man. - HOWEVER - I have set up Multi-Boots with Windows for plenty of other people, Never had a problem Multi-booting Windows with Linux of ANY distro, only real trick seems to be install Windows first, and don’t change the size of the main Windows partition once it is activated.
