Equibop

Equibop is a fork of Vesktop.

You can join our discord server for commits, changes, chat or even support.

Main features:

• Equicord preinstalled
• Much more lightweight and faster than the official Discord app
• Linux Screenshare with sound & wayland
• Much better privacy, since Discord has no access to your system

Extra included changes

• Tray Customization with voice detection and notification badges
• Command-line flags to toggle microphone and deafen status (Linux)
• Custom Arguments from this PR
• arRPC-bun with debug logging support https://github.com/Creationsss/arrpc-bun

Not fully Supported:

• Global Keybinds (Windows/macOS - use command-line flags on Linux instead)

Community packages

Below you can find unofficial packages created by the community. They are not officially supported by us, so before reporting issues, please first confirm the issue also happens on official builds. When in doubt, consult with their packager first. The AppImage should work on any distro that supports them, so I recommend you just use that instead!

• Arch Linux: Equibop on the Arch user repository
• Void Linux: Equibop on the Void repository
• NixOS: nix-shell -p equibop

Building from Source

You need to have the following dependencies installed:

• Git
• Bun

Packaging will create builds in the dist/ folder

git clone https://github.com/Equicord/Equibop
cd Equibop

# Install Dependencies
bun install

# Either run it without packaging
bun start

# Or package (will build packages for your OS)
bun package

# Or only build the Linux Pacman package
bun package --linux pacman

# Or package to a directory only
bun package:dir

Building LibVesktop from Source

This is a small C++ helper library Equibop uses on Linux to emit D-Bus events. By default, prebuilt binaries for x64 and arm64 are used.

If you want to build it from source:

1. Install build dependencies:
   • Debian/Ubuntu: apt install build-essential python3 curl pkg-config libglib2.0-dev
   • Fedora: dnf install @c-development @development-tools python3 curl pkgconf-pkg-config glib2-devel
2. Run bun buildLibVesktop
3. From now on, building Equibop will use your own build
