qTox unmaintained. Is this the end of qTox?
If you go to https://github.com/qTox/qTox You will see the following: "Due to a lack of resources, qTox is no longer maintained. If someone with provable C++ experience and sufficient resources to maintain qTox wants to take over I'm happy to discuss that." So is someone going to "take over"? I really like qTox & would hate to see it go.

11 methods of sending 118GB failed. Advice?
Qtox(p2p messaging?) failed: You can send files, but it looks like you can only open folders to look for files to send, not send folders themselves.

Mattermost-Alternative?
Qtox does all that, even if screen sharing was a bit obscure years ago. Qtox won't work on iOS but there is an Android release. Big advantages: no server required, easy to use, secure, open source.

Issue with Fedora 38
But there is also a problem with libmedianfo in Fedora 38 where we cannot do anything either (the same issue is present in other projects https://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync/issues/795)

Has anyone ever said thank you to MEGA for making good desktop app for linux and maintaining it for 8 years?
Good? It will crash on a Wayland session, and the issue has been open for nearly 2 years: https://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync/issues/501 Other than that, the MEGA cmd app doesn't support true incremental backup/deduplication, so you will quickly go through whatever storage you bought if you make multiple backups. Also, CPU usage is pretty high.

No Encryption on Linux?
This function "encrypt" is only used to encrypt the local settings, It's only used here .

Let's Get MEGAsync into Guix
Mmm; good point. I went straight to tags, since Guix uses those, – originally – and there's definitely a v4.6.1.0_Linux tag available (https://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync/releases/tag/v4.6.1.0_Linux). But thanks for pointing that out, for me. I've packaged up a few smaller projects, already, for Guix and it'd be awesome if I was able to just sit down and get this one to work and be able to send it off as a patch.
