Hi. I'm thinking about switching to Linux on my smartphone. The only reason I can't is because in my country WhatsApp is everywhere and I'm expected to have it for various school/sport things. I'd like to setup whatsapp on my laptop, but I don't know how.
I know WhatsApp Web and Desktop exist, but in the past you needed to log in to your phone at least once a month for the web session to keep working. Is it that still the case?
Or can I just log in from Android (and be fine as long as I don't accidentally log out)?
I installed it last week. It's been pretty chill so far. I love the fact that my system is fully reproducible and version managed by git. Everything I need has been available. It feels a bit like the AUR to me: I need something, I look in nixpkgs and it's already there.
One thing I do find annoying is dependencies for work projects. It took me about an hour to figure out that some library our rust project depended on, expected some specific version of gdk or something, and that's why the project wouldn't compile. But apart from that, very nice and would definitely recommend!
