'How To Use WhatsApp on Linux – Browser and Desktop App Guide'

In this video I cover what I believe are the best methods for using WhatsApp on Linux, either through a web browser or a standalone desktop application.

Although it should be noted that on Linux, audio and video calling is not possible using either method.

Method 1 – WhatsApp In A Web Browser.

Once done, you will be logged into your account and using WhatsApp in a browser.

Method 2 – WhatsApp Standalone Desktop App.

Alternatively if you wish to use WhatsApp as a desktop application, there are several different options, but my recommendation would be to use the unofficial WhatsApp Desktop client.

First, enable Flatpak support for your distribution by following the appropriate instructions.

Once done, install the WhatsApp Desktop App Flatpak as normal, by clicking on the blue Install button, and then following the installation process from there.

After installation has finished, launch WhatsApp Desktop using your application launcher, and similar to the web version of WhatsApp, scan the QR code to log into your account.

All done.

Consider doing a video on using either Waydroid or Android-x86, while Waydroid still won't do usbweb cam video calls I have a feeling it will at some point. Android-x86 is more complicated to install but offers a full Android OS in a VM so it should be possible there. I am still tinkering with x86 in my spare time to get usb webcam working but should be possible.

Hello I've seen you on some Reddit posts and wanted to ask your opinion on choosing a Linux distro. I will either go with Pop_os or Mint(xfce). I have old computer parts: intel i5-2310, 10 GB RAM, GTX 960. While gaming in Windows 10, it feels like my CPU is holding me back, performance-wise.
Some say that gnome based distros might not perform that well on old cpus and they might be heavy on RAM. Is that true? It is said that Pop OS is pretty easy to use for a Linux beginner and overall good for gaming.
I haven't looked much into Mint when it comes to beginner-friendliness but Xfce is said to be lighter on resources. Is Mint easy to use?
Another concern I have is that when I scrolled through Proton comments, Mint users seemed to have run into issues more often than Pop users.
What do you think? Should I go with Pop or Mint? Can gnome handle my old hardware? Is Pop easy to use? Is Mint easy to use? Would I be able to run Steam Proton without issues(this is hard to know without actually booting up but I want to hear your thoughts anyway)
Thanks in advance
