From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking for a Lemmy client for my desktop, archlinux. Was hoping for a good community recommendation and preferably open source.

You should really just use a browser, but I'll at least try to answer the question.

I've never tried any of them myself, as I'd just prefer using the website on desktop, but here's a list of mobile and desktop apps for Lemmy (just look at the right column to see which ones are desktop clients).

It looks like neonmodem is available in the AUR, though it's a CLI utility. If you're looking for a GUI, there's lemoa, but it's currently unmaintained, or lemonade which appears to be pretty minimal.

Your options are pretty sparse, so you're probably best off just using a browser if you're looking for a GUI. I hate to be one of those guys, but you don't need an app for everything; the browser can sometimes provide the best experience.
