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.

Theoretically, I haven't tried. It's for a online D&D campaign, so I like having Zoom and Discord on a second monitor because my main monitor already has maps, character sheet, Obsidian for taking notes, etc.
Most of my video calling is over Teams or Discord, so I may have been thinking of Webex which used to give you a http link that would force you to download the client software and launch it.
I'd suggest Jitsi as an alternative to Zoom.
I really wish I could, though the DM is dead set on using Zoom.
Is there any reason (like, at all) for him to insist on Zoom? Also, if he's more lenient regarding Discord, Revolt is pretty decent.
