I agree that Slack is pretty painful - the Linux client may as well be unsupported.
But it's still a hell of a lot better than when everyone in my office had to run their own ZNC bouncer.
- calcifer 9y agoI've been using the Linux client pretty much since its initial release and it's been nothing short of perfect for me. No problems with updates either. What problems do you have?
- pmiller2 9y agoI used to get random crashes when I ran it on Ubuntu. This was over a year ago, so things might have changed.
- scaryclam 9y agoUnfortunately they haven't. We recently moved away from slack because it's just too buggy using the desktop clients and nobody wants to have to keep it open in a browser the whole time.
- ajdlinux 9y agoMy two specific problems: I have an unresolved bug report open with them regarding failing to clear notifications, and the Linux client is the only of the 3 desktop clients that doesn't allow you to switch off the notifications dot, which is a super basic feature.
