It's timely since we're using Linux Mint, and that's the crucible it was forged in. It's installed by default in Linux Mint 20, and available... in the AUR. Everyone else will need to compile it from Github (https://github.com/linuxmint/warpinator) at this point. Warpinator is basically just AirDrop on Mac and iOS, but for Linux. Join us in two weeks when we return to the Linux User Space
