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.

Soulseek never stopped working.

Secure though? Is it end-to-end encrypted?

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha... no.

but it does allow you to only share your files with a specific other user.

however, it's explicitly not secure. It's literally from the Kazaa era of file transfer apps.

Right, but the article explicitly mentions securely, so I thought those types of tools would be more relevant to recommend.
