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.

Dang it still works for my friends on windows I can't seem to get it to work no matter what client I use on Linux

They've also never bothered to support streaming audio on Linux. Fwiw, if anyone reading this uses discord on Linux and has hit this, please add a comment/vote for this ticket. It already has over 3x the votes of the next highest Voice & Video feedback ticket, but maybe we just need it to compete with the 10k+ vote tickets.

Or create a viable alternative to discord, that would also be fine with me.

Edit: link to the issue

There is Element or Matrix or whatever the fuck that shit is called. Supposedly a better discord but the UI is so fucking bad and confusing it makes no sense.

I guess revolt and guilded are the next best options? But I am not sure how they work on Linux

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think matrix supports game streaming. revolt voice chat didn't even work for me, which made sense because it had a big "warning, this is deprecated, a replacement is being worked on". Don't know if they finished it. Never heard of guilded.

I used guilded for like 2 days. I used to be still on Windows back then, but it seemed like it was working decently.
