Have you ever been disappointed with Linux? (libretechni.ca)

Personally I haven't. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it's whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.

I'm very disappointed about Discord on Linux. I've been having a problem for months where the audio input stops working for several seconds at a time during voice calls.

Oh, is it a Discord problem? I spent half an hour yesterday debugging my setup, should've eliminated Discord from the chain.

I dunno, but I get it on discord. Did you make any progress fixing it?

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 1 day ago

I was actually trying to fix low input volume, but noticed the cutting out on the discord loopback. People were complaining that I'm hard to hear, but fixing the volume won't help if the audio is dropping entirely (-.-')

I don't think I can fix Discord, I'll just focus on the volume right now and see if I can use a different Discord client.

If you don't need the rich presence features, the browser should handle everything. The desktop version is just a web wrapper anyway and ships its own browser that may have bugs (to support native binding)

I just use it in a browser honestly
