A Letter to #Discord for not Supporting the #Linux Desktop

I rewrote the whole article because I sounded extremely rude before. It's not nice to be rude to developers, whether you like them or not; whether the application is open source or not. Hopefully this revision is respectful and doesn't sound like I am shaming them.
Discord is popular among the Linux desktop community. Thanks to Electron, the framework that Discord uses, it was possible for Discord to port the client over to Linux very easily.TheEvilSkeleton

Warning: There’s an app for blurring out sensitive information in images called Obfuscate being featured on #GNOME Software right now.
Please be careful.
The default blur setting can easily be reversed.
The default should be to replace the areas with a solid colour or a pattern not derived from the underlying information.
This really should not be a featured app in its current state.

NVIDIA Transitioning To Official, Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Driver
The day has finally come: NVIDIA IS PUBLISHING THEIR LINUX GPU KERNEL MODULES AS OPEN-SOURCE! To much excitement and a sign of the times, the embargo has just expired on this super-exciting milestone that many of us have been hoping to see for many years. Over the past two decades NVIDIA has offered great Linux driver support with their proprietary driver stack, but with the success of AMD’s open-source driver effort going on for more than a decade, many have been calling for NVIDIA to open up their drivers. Their user-space software is remaining closed-source but as of today they have formally opened up their Linux GPU kernel modules and will be maintaining it moving forward. Here’s the scoop on this landmark open-source decision at NVIDIA.

Q: Will Thunderbird get a “minimize to tray” option?
A: This feature exists on Windows, but we regularly hear from our #Linux users they want it too. The problem is that the concept of “tray” on Linux is not a consistent or standardized thing. But how about a workaround? If you're on Linux, check out a Flatpak app called "Birdtray:" flathub.org/apps/details/com.u…

"Feature consistency in compile-time-configurable system software: Facing the Linux 10,000 feature problem"
Much system software can be configured at compile time to tailor it with respect to a broad range of supported hardware architectures and application domains. A good example is the Linux kernel, which provides more than 10,000 configurable features, growing rapidly. From the maintenance point of view, compile-time configurability imposes big challenges. The configuration model (the selectable features and their constraints as presented to the user) and the configurability that is actually implemented in the code have to be kept in sync, which, if performed manually, is a tedious and error-prone task. In the case of Linux, this has led to numerous defects in the source code, many of which are actual bugs. We suggest an approach to automatically check for configurability-related implementation defects in large-scale configurable system software. The configurability is extracted from its various implementation sources and examined for inconsistencies, which manifest in seemingly conditional code that is in fact unconditional. We evaluate our approach with the latest version of Linux, for which our tool detects 1,776 configurability defects, which manifest as dead/superfluous source code and bugs. Our findings have led to numerous source-code improvements and bug fixes in Linux: 123 patches (49 merged) fix 364 defects, 147 of which have been confirmed by the corresponding #Linux developers and 20 as fixing a new bug.
