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 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.

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.

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.
