From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux's permission prompts
Oh awesome, I’ve been using the webcord version as the others were all shit for screen sharing. Having said that even webcord also has weird sound issue sim hoping are fixed with this.
The bigger Discord becomes, the more irrelevant it is to me.
I've been screen sharing from discord on hyprland for months, it wasn't already working?
Last I checked I could only share specific windows, not the whole screen. Later there was also an update with a window or screen selection dialogue that didn't work at all, I think. After that I stopped using it on wayland.
I regularly share my whole screen
I have an issue with the dialog box popping up multiple times but that's it, still works
The only caveat is window specific sharing often doesn't work because of how Wayland works
i think it works for you because you have xwayland video bridge installed
When do they stop selling user data? Next patch?
Just use spacebar instead
Nice! Thank you
Spacebar doesn't even do voice calls does it? Let alone screen share
they say they dont sell any user data, although i have my doubts about that
They also recently implemented E2EE for calls.
It doesn't really matter if they do or don't. What matters is that they can change their TOS at any time, they keep an archive of all historical data, and you will have pretty much no recourse no matter what they decide to do with it in the future.
Who knows what will happen to Discord in five or ten years?
They might get bought by a narcissistic billionaire.
They might sell all their data to Google for training AI.
They might go bankrupt and sell off their assets to the highest bidder.
They might have an IPO and begin the usual value extraction at the expense of their users.
I know, I know...crazy ideas, right? When has anything like that ever happened?!
all of this is true with literally any company.
i think you're totally right, i just dont like people saying theyre doing it right now.
Frankly i think we should use matrix instead, but it just isnt good enough yet
Vencord has had it forever. Just a community discord flathub.
For some reason my screen share freezes for others on vesktop.
Third party discord clients keep letting me down, not updating their electron version and breaking my system updates cause it's marked insecure
Browser version with extensions is the way to go
Would you clue me in on what kind of extensions you use and why they're better that the discord app?
Stylus for theming, vimium for navigation
It works a lot better than the discord app, more responsive for one. Ctrl k on the app takes a few seconds, takes half a second on web
Multiple instances at once without any hassle is nice, the ability to open links in the same window instead of having it open a browser somewhere (tiling wm with discord in a pop up layer)
Seems to be less resource intensive I assume because no electron wrapper running, just Firefox which I already have open anyway
Plus the main one is that because it's not using electron I don't have the constant drama with insecure electron versions, also if discord forces an update and your package manager doesn't update you just can't use discord for a few days until it catches up
Yeah, I've been using Vesktop/Vencord all this time. Has more features than Discord with Nitro. No reason to really switch back to the official client.
Took them long enough
Fuck Discord! 🙂
Sadly there's no alternative.
Zulip has been around for a loooong time. It integrates well with Jitsi, and is fully self-hostable.
Revolt looks pretty good despite its lack of a large user base
No screen share and there seems to be a reluctance to add/address requests for it. They add that and I can get my whole community to switch. Until then it's not happening.
