Remove link to qt5 client

[mintydev789]

The qt5 client is no longer maintained, and hasn't been for years. The website should probably no longer display it as an available GUI client. Btw, I have been using tun2socks, so maybe that can be shown as a non-GUI option for Linux somewhere. I was actually really struggling to find a way to tunnel all of my traffic through SS on Linux.

You might be interested in the transparent proxy feature in shadowsocks-rust and shadowsocks-go (shameless plug).

On Arch Linux we only have the shadowsocks-rust package. Is it the local-redir feature that I need?

I maintain AUR packages for shadowsocks-go. I'm writing this reply on Arch Linux.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, right. I might check it out. Is there any benefit of Shadowsocks Go over Shadowsocks Rust?

Well, speaking as the author of shadowsocks-go and a previous user of shadowsocks-rust, off the top of my head I can think of a few:

• More extensible routing rules
• Structured logging, easier for analysis
• REST API for traffic stats and server user management
• Faster TCP direct connection with splice(2) on Linux
• Faster UDP with recvmmsg(2) and sendmmsg(2), and UDP GSO and GRO support coming soon

* More extensible routing rules

* Structured logging, easier for analysis

* REST API for traffic stats and server user management

* Faster TCP direct connection with `splice(2)` on Linux

Would you recommend it over shadowsocks-libev? Also, is the breakdown of features supported by the different implementations on shadowsocks.org up-to-date? I saw that the Go version had some missing features, though I'm not sure how crucial that is (I'm very new to using SS).

shadowsocks-libev has been considered deprecated for years. shadowsocks-rust is its natural replacement.

The Go implementation listed on that page has nothing to do with shadowsocks-go, and is not being actively maintained. See #296.

Basically the only active project in this organization is shadowsocks-rust. If you want more options, look elsewhere.

Oh, I didn't know that. I think this page should be updated to reflect that, because I saw no indication of libev being deprecated online.
