On windows they are clear…

That means they blurred them for your viewing pleasure. They're still 256 color animations where the format was invented in 1989.

Edit: The process GIF uses to store semi-video quality is called error diffusion. Look it up. 256 color palette is rather limited.

I’m not going to keep going back and forth about it. The fidelity of gifs on windows and Linux clients of discord differ greatly.

Then try a different GIF decoding library, duh. You actually have options with Linux.
