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.

How can I use Whatsapp video call on Linux?

I tried Whatsapp-for-Linux and Whatsie but they didn't work.

Because for some reason the anti WhatsApp crowd fails to understand that the majority of the people using WhatsApp would lose any social life if they just uninstalled. It's always the same. "Just don't use WhatsApp!". I'd literally not communicate with any of my family. I'd be the one weirdo that doesn't use WhatsApp and that then maybe gets invited to things if somebody remembers to call me or write me a text message.

Your family seems kind of shitty if they would refuse to install another app to communicate with you. Especially if that other app serves everyone's best interests...
