    I literally ended my comment with saying the service was worth the price, and you pitch a way to pirate it to me. Wild.

      Well, this “pirate” option also fixed issues that plagued the Linux desktop client for years. Discord only got screen share working about a month ago, that feature has been around since 2017 (I think). Meanwhile the “pirate” option had fixed that (even on wayland) while people were waiting for the basic features to function.

        To be clear, a pirated copy of something may well be improved over the original but that doesn’t make it not a pirated copy, so you can lose the quotes. It sounds like Discord is not in a good place on Linux and I’m sure I’d agree it’s not worth the cost of the sub if I were on Linux.

          No, that’s what was fixed a month ago. It does still have its bugs though, I found that if the audio doesn’t show I have to close the app and reopen it before it will work, but that happened from time to time with the workarounds as well so I’m thinking maybe it’s just an issue on the Linux side

        Yep, people have had to use alternative Discord clients on Linux for quite some time.

        For anyone curious: Vesktop, ripcord, webcord, and armcord are the ones I tried at some point.

      Hah, I just like spreading the good word of piracy. Especially Discord since their app is a piece of shit.
