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.

This is why we run Gajim 1.9.5 in flatpak.
Which. Got removed from flathub, so to install it on our laptop, we had to do some kind of weird flatpak sideloading thing.
On our laptop we've been using Gajim 2.something from Debian 13 (our desktop runs testing so we can't do that there). It's not Full Gnomified. It also locks up whenever we try dragging a picture into the chat window to send. So... yeah.
Someone should fork Gajim pre-2.
The latest pre-libadwaita version of Gajim is 2.2.0, I don't think there were any problems with that version.
I remember that Gajim installed from Flatpak wouldn't allow drag'n'drop functionality at all.
Funnily enough, Gajim from Flatpak (1.9.5) does drag and drop just fine!
I can't remember what version we've got on our laptop– [can't we just check packages.debian.org?] right! It's 2.1.1-2, apparently. Good to hear that 2.2.0 is non-adwaitified, that sounds like a good place to fork from.
