For the gamers here using Linux: what about Discord? One of my only social outlets currently is unfortunately through Discord with some friends. There any issues with drivers for headsets and/or Discord having issues?
Discord is a horrible product and we should be steering people away from it and towards a federated alternative like Matrix.
That said, it works fine on Linux. The only issue is that updating it requires editing a text file because the incompetent cunts at the company can’t be arsed to develop their product properly.
I’m pretty sure the browser has more sandboxing than a desktop app running as me. The desktop app could do anything. Firefox tries to prevent webpages from doing nefarious stuff.
Discord works absolutely fine in Linux. I use “Vesktop” which is a desktop client for Discord. Performance is identical to using the Discord app in Windows AFAIK.

I use discord flatpak and it works flawlessly. You will need to check your specific headset of course

Have had absolutely 0 issues with the official discord linux desktop app for a couple years now. Works just the same as windows
I have some issues making screenshares with the native app. But the browser version works flawlessly.
When I have to use discord, I use it in the browser. I don’t trust the app not to get up to no good.
The app is just a browser wrapper over the web app.

Sometimes screen sharing my desktop/games crashes Discord or it just doesn’t work. Not a big deal and works 70% of the time.
Discord has a version for Linux. I use it, and it’s pretty much the same experience as in winblows.
