I’ve been looking more seriously at making a permanent switch to Linux, as I don’t plan to ever upgrade to Windows 11. I’m currently running a dual-boot with Ubuntu Studio, and I’ve been trying to piece together everything I need to move my regular usage over.

I think I’ve got enough of a grasp of Jack at this point to replace Voicemeeter, which was one of my big hurdles. The next, though, is Discord’s incomplete functionality.

For those who don’t know, audio doesn’t stream with screen sharing over discord on Linux. I do a lot of streaming with friends, so we kind of need this functionality.

I know it’s possible to run a discord client on Linux that fixes this problem, but given that it’s technically against the ToS, I don’t really want to risk my account. I have a bunch of stuff set up for game servers, including all sorts of webhooks and ticket tool configurations and the like, so it isn’t really worth risking.

I know there are some VLC plugins I can use to stream video files, but that doesn’t help if I’m trying to stream a game or my DAW.

Has anyone found solutions that work for them? The easier for the person I’m streaming to, the better.
