@libgenapps What's the status on a Linux application?

Same, I also want a Linux app

If you are on Linux and don't mind using your terminal, I recommend audstanley/libgen-tui.

There are things that I will never understand in this life. Among them is the fact that an organization against DRM and information control launches an exclusive application for a proprietary operating system, whose company promotes values contrary to those defended here. In your eagerness to reach people you only contribute to the dependence on technologies that exert injustices.

Regards.

I disagree here. The work the LibGen developer(s) have done is insane, and I would even consider it to be one of the best projects in humankind. To demand a slightly more comfortable (remember that you can always use LibGen from your browser) experience for one operating system is imo a very ungrateful and privileged statement. Please remember that open-source developers are humans too and usually do their work for free, so you should be thankful for their work and not demand even more.

I myself am a GNU/Linux user and would also like a GUI application for LibGen. But I would never criticize developers that made LibGen more, not less, available, for this application's unavailability on GNU/Linux.

I have not issued any value judgment on anyone. You, on the other hand, are judging me and calling me "ungrateful." I have pointed out, with arguments, a logical contradiction, nothing more. Today there are many cross-platform languages that allow you to develop once and compile on other systems. There is no difficulty if there is a good prior approach.

Please, don't talk "privileges" and shit like that because you have no idea of my origin, of my life and of the difficulties I've experienced. You also don't know what I do in my day to day to fight for a better world. I am a vegan activist and I try to save animals while many individuals, who raise different flags, are dedicated to revindicating their personal oppressions while participating in the exploitation and systematic murder of millions of animals. All this, in my case and in that of others, is argumentatively irrelevant. I'll give you some advice: stop judging others and learn to bear criticism.

Regards.

Don't judge someone's thoughts, ideas, or opinions based on their identity.

Not being vegan means participating in violence against animals. In the same way, I can tell who is a speciesist who enjoys the suffering of animals.

Let's try to be a bit more practical: I realize this application is written in C#, which is a Microsoft-associated and Windows-associated language AFAIK. But - I also know that there is some level of support for running C# on Linux. Microsoft claims it can be installed:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux

and maybe there are other alternatives. I've never used C# on Linux personally, so I'm just "spitballing" here.

Another alternative is porting the application. cloc says there are ~27K lines of C# code. Since this is a client for a network service, not a super-hyper-duper-special C# project, I would assume a reasonable developer who knows both C# and a reasonably-multiplatform language could do it. Perhaps even the developers of the app itself could be convinced, but I guess we can't rely on that.

Irrelevant, you're fighting a lost war. I'll eat animals because meat is tasty, good luck stopping me or people like me.. Oh, and the suffering? Well, people suffer just as much or even more, it's not a measure..

C# is multiplatform, but only if you write the code properly and make sure it's not stuck depending on windows, so it's totally not a C# problem that they made it not work

Everyone, please take discussions of lifestyle choices somewhere else. Sorry to be blunt, but nobody wants to be on an email chain regarding veganism when this issue is supposed to be for desktop Linux support.
