Have a nice day to all guys!
What is the best Whatsapp program for Linux in your opinion?

P:S: I honestly don't like Whatsapp, but the fact is that most of my contacts use it.

The problem for me is that Whatsdesk is only available as a snap package.

I use WhatsApp for WhatsApp.

So yeah, will check the alternatives for sure. You know this is what makes Linux so much fun. Or FOSS for that matter.
There's always something else to anything.

Gonna try these, thanks.

If by "Whatsapp" you mean messaging app then it's signal.

You can use WhatsApp Web in your browser or install Whatsie, Franz, or Rambox for a desktop app experience. These apps let you chat without needing a phone.

The mobile phone is always necessary to scan the QR Code, without which you cannot connect Whatsapp Desktop.
I use Whatsapp with Station.

Not true, there is desktop software that scans QR code, such as otpclient which takes screenshot of QR code and generates TOTP/HOTP codes.

For Linux, I’d recommend using WhatsApp web in a browser or try Ferdi or Rambox — both are great all-in-one messaging apps that support WhatsApp and keep it separate from your browser tabs. If you prefer a more native feel, WhatsDesk is a decent unofficial desktop client for Linux.
