just wondering if there are native #nostr clients for #Linux usersβ¦
Discussion
Haven't seen one. Keep using webclients such as snort.social for now π
I haven't run Linux in a while and I haven't used this client, but Gossip is a desktop Nostr client that supports Linux and Windows, and seems to be reputable and well-liked by folks, including fiatjaf and jack. https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
Iβve tried to run Gossip, but it does nothing for me :/
As in nothing loads on Gossip? Or that it doesnβt work in the way that you want? #[3]
Nothing loads, even though Iβve added my private key
Not sure, Mike or others might be able to help you. Seems like Iris also works on Linux desktop, if you want to call that native.
takes some initial setup, iirc. I believe there are instructions or a video in the repositoryβs readme
Gossip starts up on a help page that guides you through getting it setup. Click "Help" in the upper right and then "Getting Started" on the next line down, and follow the instructions.
Unfortunately just about every other nostr client is manipulating you by automatically hooking you up with their preferred relays, driving your business and your private information through the relays that THEY selected for you, without even so much as a disclaimer. I refuse to engage in that behavior. I think it is disrepsectful and centralizing, not to mention fragile. This is why gossip doesn't have any relays setup when you start. Because I respect you and think that relay selection should be your choice, not mine.
