I seldom use discord .... but every time I do I have to take two minutes to update the damned thing before I can even use it.

And yet they refuse to update the infrastructure it uses, it uses such an old version of Electron that things that Google solved years ago are still issues on Discord, especially for Linux users.

I understand we're about 4% of the user market, but why do Linux users not get to have audio with screensharing? macOS isn't gaming focused at all, but has support for it. You have to essentially trick discord to get support for it on Linux.
