Microsoft wants you to ditch your old OS so you can try its new one stuffed with overbearing, if not invasive, AI features.

    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?

    Edit: Thanks for the responses everyone!!

      Discord has an official client for Linux. Also it works well in a Browser. I use it regularly without issues.

      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

      I have some issues making screenshares with the native app. But the browser version works flawlessly.

      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.

      Well, Discord is available on Linux, Archlinux for example has the package and I suppose this is true for many other distros.
