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.
If by "invest" you mean paying one person a few hours weekly to create an Electron app, then there's already plenty of companies doing that. None of which have declared the year of the linux desktop for it. Or maybe all of them, who knows. It's the decade of the year of the linux desktop.
I’m going to delete my discord account soon.. tired of this shit platform
I do wish they'd publish a proper apt repo instead of making me install the .deb everytime.
They FINALLY fixed the update system on arch so you arnt told to install a deb every time update. Its been like 6 years
Does it just toggle the setting that was in the json previously?
I started using Vesktop to get away from that specifically... Maybe it's time to try the default again? Well, it's time to find a good alternate and convince everyone I know to switch, but that is a slow process so... lol
I hate discord but I think at least they'll make more users use Linux
right after they broke all client mods on linux with their new auto updater
Not a fan of discord lately, but I'm definetly in favor of more mainstream Linux support regardless of the source
Yeah discord hasn't gone completely to shit but all the signs are there that it's inevitable.
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.
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?
