"The Discord on Linux Situation is Crazy."

[Bunny]

When I switched to Linux I downloaded Vesktop, canceled Nitro, and gave the money to Vencord instead.

[michaell.]

It's nice that we have Vesktop, i can screenshare with audio on wayland so easily

[chomskysfavefive]

Crazy to hear people say "We don't use that anymore, we've moved on to Wayland"

I remember when tons of people thought Wayland would never actually succeed X11. "Forever a few years away" they said lol

[Yes-mepk]

I've seen somewhere that there's more Discord users on Linux than on MacOS, yet MacOS gets all the features

[SlamZDank]

The fact that they are sleeping on actually making their CORE FUNCTIONALITIES (and what discord is KNOWN FOR) finally work on linux but instead are actively pushing for more nitro bs is quite infuriating!

[Kiyuja]

still remember 4 or 5 years ago when a friend of mine called us on Discord on Linux and whenever he tried screen sharing, no matter what he selected, it would ALWAYS show both screens he was using as one image, making it look massively zoomed out. We could never read any documents or work hes showing, it was really annoying. Crazy that this STILL has issues. But then again, its Discord we are talking about. They keep removing support for better formats like APNG and 6 year old threads are still unanswered. Really makes you think what they heck they are even doing...

[JohnSmith-lcml]

It fucking annoys me that these companies think you need hundrens of millions of users to justify doing anything. You have enough money to support both.

[tuneduptechie]

Vesktop is the superior discord client for Linux.

[SuperTamaru]

It's good to know that Discord on Linux is about as well maintained as OpenOffice.

[tro_bt]

I was a bug tester for Discord a few years ago, when I asked (iirc) a dev why there where so many issues with the Linux client that had been known and never addressed, he stated that they'd only respond to tickets for Linux if they broke major functionality of the client.
Bugs that made it a bad experience (one I remember was screenshare showing all monitors at once) weren't going to be fixed.

[Tracing]

The fun thing is that upgrading the Electron version would solve many of these....

[NathanDarkson]

Using Vesktop on any devices, be it Windows, Mac or Linux (mostly Linux in this case) just feels cleaner than having Discord installed. Dunno why...

[PercyPanleo]

Discord: "Don't use unofficial clients!!!"
Also Discord:

[claymorwan]

"We are not using X11 anymore"
Me using X11 : fuc

[AliceinEntropy]

It is a wild recursive fact that DIscord wont push more linux support because the userbase isn't there, which definitely there is a decent chunk of userbase that won't switch to linux because discord doesn't work correctly.

[succupon]

Found out about Vesktop a couple weeks ago. It's nice because it doesn't brick itself every time there's an update

[Pufty]

I've been on Vencord and loving it. Reminded me of the early days when someone showed you that your Discord can be customized FOR FREE. Made me realize we really gave up a lot when using the platform over time. Even if they bring back features over to linux, if they kill Vencord and I have to buy the ability to not even customize a background, but change some colours... I'm not gonna use Discord at all anymore.

Like windows the start is great and then it gets annoying

[notuxnobux]

13:22 discover overlay supports x11 and wlroots, not wayland (kde plasma also implements some wlroots protocols). There is no solution that works properly on _wayland_ as wayland doesn't have a protocol for overlays nor positioning and even if it did gnome (wayland) would never support it (they have stated so). This will unfortunately always be the case with wayland. Application developers will never be able to target wayland as a platform, they will have to target each different wayland compositor hoping it works and sometimes some of those features will simply never work.

[CCJ]

I basically use Discord like a chat client similar to MSN or AOL back in the day. The only thing I'd like to see fixed on Discord, that stupid Lucky day nag screen that tries to for a deb package on me when I'm running Arch. Thankfully, the guys over at Arch are pretty quick getting the update on the repos.
