[Edit: see suggestions in the posts below about Nicotine and slskd, and also about scary features of Soulseek.]

I was checking the download page for Soulseek.

Curiously, the last builds for Window$ and Ma¢ date 2026-04, but the last for Linux 2024-06. Is that just a typo? Or maybe vice versa, given that the last news is from 2024.

Dave they dropped development for Linux, or altogether?

Thank you so much for this! I didn't know about Nicotine. Works great on Linux, in fact it doesn't crash like Soulseek's Qt client.

Yep, I have both installed. But use nicotine+ almost exclusively

I've been using Nicotine+ for a couple of years on Mint with no issues and I leave it running in the background 24/7.
