Notion meeting notes on Linux systems
Olá! tl;dr: Notion web não captura output de áudio da sua máquina. Para contornar isso criei um sink vazio, atrelei output e input de áudio nele e disponibilizei-o através de um mic virtual. link do gist O Notion não suporta oficialmente distros Linux. Rodar ele via Wine é uma opção que às vezes não funciona, cada update é um problema novo para contornar. A solução então é usar o Notion web…
Hello! tl;dr: Notion web doesn't capture audio output from your machine. To work around this, I created an empty sink, tied audio output and input to it, and made it available through a virtual mic. gist link
Notion doesn't officially support Linux distros. Running it via Wine is an option that sometimes doesn't work, with each update bringing a new problem to overcome. The solution is then to use Notion web, but it only captures your microphone (and as we all know, a meeting isn't made of just one person). As the wise Heimerdinger once said: Order, entropy; an endless cycle. Or is it not? -- Cecil B. Heimerdinger
To solve this, we need a way to present our audio input and output to Notion as a single input. In the words of the inimitable Tinker: Conditions could hardly be more ideal! -- Boush, the Tinker
Well, straight to the point: Linux uses audio servers, previously PulseAudio, nowadays PipeWire (in most distros). And it's because of this architecture that our solution is possible, as we can create a virtual microphone that listens to all system sound outputs and presents them as an input to Notion (or any software you want). Some assembly required. -- Rattletrap, the Clockwerk
Here is the script:
Until next time and thanks for the fish!
