What is Facebook for Linux FOR LINUX?

Facebook for Linux

Facebook for Linux is an open-source software that acts just like the official Facebook apps you see on smartphones running iOS, Android, or Windows Phone. So, if you're looking for a desktop version of your favorite social media platform, this is it!

What is FB4Linux?

You might hear people refer to it as FB4Linux. It’s not just about Facebook; this handy application also supports Twitter and Google+. You can jump between these networks with just one click—how cool is that?

User-Friendly Features

This app has some neat features! With system tray integration, you can hide the main window whenever you want. Plus, accessing your Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ accounts is super quick from within the app. If you want to reach out to the developer or even donate to support the project, you can do that right from the system tray icon.

How It Works

If you're curious about what makes this software tick, it's built entirely in C++ and uses the Qt GUI toolkit for its interface. The program comes in source archives and lets you pick from five colors: Blue, Green, Red, Pink, and Gold!

Installation Steps

Ready to get started? First things first: download and extract one of those source archives from the dedicated download section (you'll find it above!). Once that's done, open a terminal in the extracted folder. Type qmake, hit Enter, then type make. When that's all set up and compiled successfully, you can either run it right there or install it system-wide using sudo make install.

Your Social Media Hub

Facebook for Linux is simple yet effective! While it might need a few tweaks here and there, it's the only web app-like program that lets you access all your social media accounts without having to fire up a web browser.
