Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch for the moment, this isnt lazy either, they changed the whole screenshare flow to suit linux's permission prompts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh my fuck, finally. Good lord Discord, only took you eons to get that working with Wayland after you broke it.
I get that there's other things like Discord out there, but nothing works like Discord.
Matrix doesn't?
There's plenty of free alternatives that works much better than discord
https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/
Not if I want calling, video chat, screen sharing and role based chat rooms all in the same place. I've explored this, but it just isn't feature complete enough at the moment. I'd definitely describe myself as a Discord power user and Matrix just doesn't manage it.
Calls and video chats works just fine in matrix and client like element allow you to integrate other services if you don't like the default ones.
You sound a lot like someone who use windows. We are on a linux sub.
I am a Linux user. Bizarre assumption to make given my excitement over a Wayland specific Discord feature. But I don't have any actual qualms with how Discord implements its own services. Matrix just doesn't fit the bill for me. If you enjoy it, and it suits your needs then all the power to you. It just isn't what works for me.
Matrix does not have the features of Discord. It's far closer to a Telegram alternative. It doesn't even have voice channels, a very basic requirement for a Discord alternative.
