Can't I go one week without having to uninstall and reinstall the damn deb file?

I moved my non-techie friend to Kubuntu and this was one of the speedbumps we ran into. I had to set .deb files to open with something other than the KDE get new software app. I think we're using qapt-something. I wish discord didn't treat us Linux users like 2nd class citizens. They coded support for capturing OS sound for Windows, but not Linux or Mac for that matter.

As an aside, I think this situation is a microcosm for different OS's and it's users:

Windows users: We're the biggest group so sound works fine for us.

Linux users: Discord doesn't support our needs so we implemented it ourselves with discord-screenaudio.

Mac users: Discord doesn't support our needs and there's no solution to purchase so I guess we're just fucked.

To be fair, Apple made audio sharing an absolute nightmare. I have never gotten my remote control software audio to work on Mac and have tried multiple non-Crapple solutions.

Discord won't even make it as painless as possible though, and getting it set up requires downloading a third party thing now (from outside the app, before I could at least click a button inside the app).

I totally gave up a few months ago on Discord on Mac because I was sick of booting into safe mode. I'm not sure who is to blame for this but I imagine it's Apple.
