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.

I still have major problems with presence detection and notifications (in Webcord. Love it on Deck tho.) Could be me. Vencord is a project I just stumbled on and it seems really solid in just about every area. Check out those plugins.
And Vencord has a desktop client "Vesktop" which works like Webcord, with audio in stream too. No presence detection but notifications have worked for me
Ive been using armcord with the vencord base, it's super solid and not as resource intensive.
What did you switch to, what memory usage consumption caused pause and what settings were you using?
Sorry, misread that part. I was referring to plugins, which can increase CPU usage, and backend, which you can choose between vencord and webcord.
I would caution anyone using a client mod like that, since it is technically against Discord's terms of service. To be fair I've never heard of them banning anyone for that, but it's worth noting. Webcord is generally a much safer option.
You're technically right but discord really doesn't care as long as you're not doing anything harmful with the client mods. Big YouTubers like No Text To Speech publicly promote and use Vencord and never get banned, I think his server is even a discord partner.
Yeah it's fine right now, but these companies are prone to changing their minds. I think it's a good option but also wouldn't put it past discord to suddenly decide to crack down one day.
