I don't like them as a company, but If Discord gives a shit enough to invest in the Linux client to capture more users, Linux is on the right track to grow even more. They don't care about Linux current user base. They want the user base of what it can become.

Not a fan of discord lately, but I'm definetly in favor of more mainstream Linux support regardless of the source
i would think they would just focus on the flatpak instead of distro specific formats? and, i know there’s an issue with audio sharing apps on pipewire, is that fixed?
but with all the ID crap etc and alternative apps getting pretty good (eying fluxer) maybe i will just jump to another app.
still great to see good discord improvements.
I do wish they'd publish a proper apt repo instead of making me install the .deb everytime.
right after they broke all client mods on linux with their new auto updater
Is every single shitty corporation going to fuck with the Linux garden now? I'm concerned.
Fuckin finally.
I checked a few months ago, and having never deleted them, had racked up multiple gigabytes of Discord updates in my downloads directory
Yes, and? Do you expect anyone to head to YT for such an information-free headline?
I'll believe them when they bother to fix the five year old issue that completely breaks audio on desktop sharing they've left the Linux client to rot with.
Well if discord is claiming this, it must be true! /s
I'll trust the stream survey results to determine if this is actually the year... Thanks
Kind of stuck with Discord for the moment, but I've just been using a separate Firefox profile dedicated to the service. It's nice seeing multiple accounts at once and having easy access to extensions.
With European governments bucking Windows, sure, it's likely to have some growth.
Huge advertisement for linux. Discord joining steam in open support for linux will bring quite a few people over.
