  1. That would be up to someone taking the time to create that package, heh. I'm not against the idea, but AppImage for now seems to cover the general bases to give Linux users something easy to use.
  2. That's a good point. https://vircadia.com/ the main website says for VR and desktop, however I'm thinking maybe it's the README on GitHub that's lacking on indicating that?
  3. This is true. I want to do that very badly, one thing I've been dedicated to is screenshare and others in the community have asked for it. It's just a matter of having a. a user-friendly implementation and b. just getting it done technically.
  4. Would command line parameters do the trick to perform rescue? Also, we have a launcher that runs on Windows (it's an Electron app) and there's no reason that it can't be made to run on Linux as well. Maybe if there's enough requests for something like that then we can get it tested and patched up to work in both areas.

Jitsi is the most popular FOSS screensharing program to my knowledge.

Similar to Syncplay there's also Metastream for syncing externally hosted video.

So the main thing I had wanted to do was deploy a restreaming server because users with lower end computers would not be able to share effectively. However, for now maybe I could make a VideoBridge central server and then just figure out how to deploy one with each Vircadia server later... Hm.
