- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

I mean there is always the flatpak version
I must be getting old.
Yep. I didn't realize the flatpak version worked better. I never get those manual update prompts anymore and Software Center automatically updates Discord when there are updates.

Vesktop is nice.
discord.com/app
Flatpak
So. Very important for everyone here. You can bypasss the forced discord update.
I'm running with native electron (sure, electron) but it works great tbh
check out vencord (or vesktop) just in time for discord to completely enshittify. while you're looking, consider something like revolt chat instead?

yay discord
Yes.
Even screen share is fixed in wayland now! I believe that the flatpak version was on the cusp of supporting it too so it might already. I kinda stopped caring about it when everything worked, which is certainly a good sign.
idk i just use the website
for some reason it crashes on Firefox when i enable audio, but my mic doesn't work anyway so you know it's not a big deal
edit: fix typos
