My laptop (a fairly fast one at that), trying to build electron9 in a #manjaro update since 4 hours.. Screw you #electron, I'm so replacing element! #manjarolinux
Anyone knows a good matrix client for linux ? Boosts are very welcome! #matrix #matrixchat #matrixdotorg #MatrixTips
@Seferi i'm using element (in webbrowser) and gomuks. all others are still somewhat buggy (beta, alpha) - ok gomuks is also buggy here and there x)
@scops @Seferi Gomuks is almost flawless compared to anything not based on JS SDK. Well, Nheko is good too, but Qt is just not my cup of tea.
I use Element Web in Firefox (it's waay better than Electron) only for the sake of being able to paste images from system clipboard and voice calls.
Unfortunately Go itself is not that cross-platform. E.g. if you use PowerPC and musl you're out of luck.
@scops 🤝 And I'm running Gomuks on a trusty olde Efika MX nettop. Had to build gcc-go from source though as Genesi never made even Linux kernel 3.0 for the poor thing, so reference Go implementation won't work.
Tried to do the same for PowerPC so I could run it on a G4 MacMini, but… On one platform the register struct in the kernel is a real struct, on the other one it's a macro — this stuff was too much of a neurosurgery grade rocket science to me 😅
@m0xee @Seferi yeah,... i know; i follow some discussion about this on github :) i really love to see gomuks on sorbet leopard ;) but it runs for example on old arm devices. it works very well on my old open pandora with 1ghz armv7 :)
