Neither of which run well on Linux. Don’t use proprietary software when there are other options

I’ve been running Discord just fine on Linux. It’s just a web wrapper, after all. What issues have you been having with it?

Armcord has a plugin fix for that I believe!

From what I’ve read online that’s a problem with Wayland not Discord.

Recently it’s stopped opening links in my browser and won’t let me upload files to discord.

Last time I tried Viber, it ran fine on Linux, what issues have you had with it?

Discord also works pretty well, minus the white flashing when scrolling through GIFs for me

I had a problem with Viber on Linux, it crashed when picking up or starting a call, but that was quickly fixed.

Admittedly haven’t tried calling with it, that being said I still need to reinstall it on my main laptop (only recently switched to Linux on that, was using an old laptop with Linux before that), so I’ll try some stuff again

Viber and Discord aren’t free (libre) software and should be avoided. I’ve never ran them because of that reason. However, I’ve heard lots of complaints of proprietary mainstream applications not being great on Linux.

Not really. It technically uses a heavy modified kernel but that’s about it

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
