twinux: almost the Twitter client for Linux that I was looking for

This is not the first article signed by me that talks about a Twitter client for Linux and it probably won't be the last. And the thing is that in Windows there is an official app (be careful with it because it can block accounts for a "strange use" if we add more than one) and in macOS we have alternatives like Tweetbot, not to mention that soon we will be able to use the iPad apps in Mac. In Linux there are many Twitter clients, but all with very important shortcomings. twinux It is another option that, for what I was looking for, is ALMOST perfect.

What am I looking for in a Twitter client? Basically, that I can do the same thing that I can do from the Android / iOS app or the web version without having to depend on Firefox: tweet, retweet, view / create surveys, etc., and be able to add more than one account. I know that many have not liked the change to the new interface of the web version, but for me, who am used to mobile apps, it was a positive change. One of the last changes was that we can use multiple accounts, so I am comfortable with the web version. For me the problem is that I don't want to depend on the browser.

twinux is like a browser tab for Twitter Web

twinux is like a browser tab that only shows Twitter Web. Is electron based And, as from the browser, we can have the "mobile" version stretched vertically or the version "for tablet" if we leave the window in the landscape. Its behavior is exactly the same as what we would get if we created a Twitter web-app with Ice, so we will also get a deficiency that, if we use several accounts, is not too serious: it does not support notifications. I say that it is not too serious because, if we add several accounts in Firefox, we are in account A and they send a notification to account B, we will not receive anything.

twinux is available as snap package, so its installation is as simple as opening the software center, searching for the app and installing it or opening a terminal and typing the following command:

sudo snap install twinux

For all this, for me that I have decided to separate WhatsApp Web, Telegram and Twitter into different apps, twinux is almost the perfect Twitter client for Linux that I was looking for.
