Discord is pretty bangin too
It's almost like shit electron apps are shit because the developers are such a joke (honestly), not electron.
Discord has also been using ancient electron versions for a long while now (I don't know if they've since updated to versions that haven't been EoL'ed).
On Linux, I literally have a better experience using discord in my browser than the electron version.
Edit: looks like discord updated to Electron 22 in March 2023, with the update to Electron 23 happening maybe at the end of the year or early next year, according to this reddit post. So they're getting better, but still a bit behind.
Using a whole browser as the base for your application just seems unnecessary. Then again, I do most things from my terminal.
The web is basically becoming a whole operating system and I hate it.
At this pace I predict the fabled "year of the Linux desktop" will arrive when local- processing desktops have been overrun by closed-off mobile devices and cloud services.
Not for me, Discord is slow af on my laptop. But do definitely agree it's Discord's fault in this case
Discord is a privacy invading pile of shit
