I can not get rpc working on vesktop flatpak version on linux I have followed this https://github.com/flathub/dev.vencord.Vesktop/ and still no game activity. I have asked many times on there discord but with no help…
I am open to changing discord clients to whatever etc if someone has one to suggest
They’ve also never bothered to support streaming audio on Linux. Fwiw, if anyone reading this uses discord on Linux and has hit this, please add a comment/vote for this ticket. It already has over 3x the votes of the next highest Voice & Video feedback ticket, but maybe we just need it to compete with the 10k+ vote tickets.
Or create a viable alternative to discord, that would also be fine with me.
Edit: link to the issue
Webcord runs the discord website on a more updated version of electron, and supports sharing audio.
From what I can tell they are working on updating their electron version to one that is aware of pipewire, this is the first part of solving the issue (especially for Wayland folks), the second part is just fixing some code in the client to deal with that and then it should be fixed until we deprecate pipewire in 2079. Additionally it would make discord finally act as a native Wayland app instead of being forced in xwayland.
Seems like they should already have a pulseaudio version working by now. Or I guess someone told electron that pipewire was going to replace pa, so they held off on any support whatsoever?
They could bother with pulse, but IDK how portable the API for that is, also discord working on Linux is more accidental and this getting fixed might just be because they want it fixed on the Mac side too.
It’s sad to see that discord has waited over 8 years to do this, but the whole thing is soydev code anyways.
If you can self-host, there are alternatives.
I haven’t used Discord in 6 years.
Do you have a link?
Shoot, can’t believe I forgot that. Here it is
