      Discord is just a website, you can use an alternative client for VoIP. Xwayland should ensure it remains compatible, though.

        I agree but they’re probably not going to and as long as that is the case I can see GNOME users being annoyed that they can’t use the app. It’s stupid but it’s just reality. Discord doesn’t give a rats ass about Linux.

          GNOME users can just switch to a different client like ArmCord, which supports linux way better than the official app

      It might. I believe the Discord app uses electron, if so you should be able to enable Wayland with some command line flags. The Wayland Arch Wiki page covers this.

      Regardless, It’ll still work under Xwayland.

        Yeah but it’s using an ancient version of Electron that they refuse to update. Whenever I open Discord on Wayland I just get a black screen. It doesn’t work, and I’m forced to use browser Discord.

          Our use case notwithstanding, it’s a bad move to decide on which infrastructure to use for a project as big and important as Gnome on a third party proprietary app that refuses to move on with the times or properly integrate in the OS by actually maintaining a native build.
