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

    THIS prevented you from switching?

    Afaik screenshare always worked when using Discord in a browser

      Pretty much! Never saw anything that said the browser client worked on Linux, but last time I tried the discord browser client it was pretty rubbish as well.

        As someone who only occasionally uses Discord, I honestly didn’t even know they had a desktop version of their app. I’ve always used it in the browser. Why do they even have a desktop version of their webapp?

          Integration at a level a browser can’t offer. Most importantly, imo, a browser can’t bind global keyboard shortcuts for websites. So push to talk, mute keybinds, … don’t work in the browser version.

          The desktop version uses Electron, a shitty Chromium + Node.js framework for devs that really only want javascript and web tech
