Does Discord even work for anyone else on Linux? It literally runs like shit for me and I physically cannot voice chat with anyone anymore, I can barely type because of how bad it is. Are there any fucking alternatives to Discord at all, or are we too late because everyone's come to Discord already?

Discord runs directly on the kernel? Surely you use a windows manager and operating environment. GNU/Linux is pretty damn good by now, maybe you should give it a try
Ryder Scott
Use the website.

Discord doesn't run on GNU/Linux. It needs a display server, something GNU/Linux lacks.

none of my friends are going to go to Mumble and neither are the majority of Discord users.
Mason Wood
It works perfectly on Ubuntu 18.p4

I'm running it fine right now on my laptop with Manjaro and it doesn't seem any better or worse than my windows partition with it.

Here's a stripped down discord you could try if your hardware is lacking? I'm on an old T420 so I don't know.
I wish my friends would stop using mumble.
>Have a discord server
>use Mumble for voice instead
I only have it installed to talk to like 6 people at this point.

well, discord does not offer much in terms of ux, except fancy clickable links, which probably can be implemented in about an hour as a join command using encoded or plaintext ip

If you're using the electron desktop application, try disabling hardware acceleration. For whatever fucking reason, that can fuck with voice receive. UI might be choppy once that's disabled though. I've found that Discord runs best for Linux through Chrome.
Outside of that though, I'd say Riot is pretty good. Mumble is okay too, but the UI is a bit dated and might spook some of your normie friends.

You might want to look at ripcord. It's a discord client written in C++.
>inb4 cpp is bloat
It's still better than the electron client

Linux is trying to save you, amigo

Werks perfectly for me on Arch + KDE

some of us are social, user.
Aiden Bennett
"Social" means talking to people and interacting in real life, using chromium based spyware doesn't make up for you not leaving your basement
Jeremiah Thomas
social activity doesn't just relate to real world socialization, i'm not making the argument that talking to people through discord is more social than talking to someone face to face, but it's still a form of social activity.
Sebastian Rivera
I have no need for discord as a social outlet, I live on campus and interact with people in person. As for professionally, email and IRC are lightweight alternatives with innumerable use options

Works flawlessly for me.
>I physically cannot voice chat with anyone anymore
This likely isn't a problem with Discord itself, but with either your microphone or your speakers, or with the drivers communicating with them. Switching to a different voice chat program won't help.
William Bennett
Seems like Discord is for you then, carry on sailor.

Werks on my machine.

Geo location, ip addresses and every message dated back to 2015 neatly sorted on a silver plate.
Wouldn't use it for much more than shitposting.
Alexander Ross
yeah, the only other real reason I use Discord is because my irl friends use it. I personally have wanted to leave and go somewhere else ever since they added the fucking store, and before that honestly, it's literal spyware.

1. Stop being a zoomer
2. Run it in browser
Jose Diaz
Have to enable hardware acceleration since the latest patch or else it runs like utter shit.
Even with that, notifications still don't work, and it looks like it's an Electron bug github.com
