Based on what I understand, the feature people use Discord for is "group voice chat", but other people on this thread r saying, future Element X can do that, and Mumble can also do that.. How easy they are compared to Discord ? Idk, but I know that It literally sucks all your data, just so it can tell you : person X is playing game Y...
I just remembered Revolt aims to be an exact copy of Discord, it's Foss and chats are E2EE I guess
Group voice is discord’s biggest feature, but also general messaging (both direct/group as well as communities), video streaming, and file sharing.
Element might be a viable alternative, I’ve used it for chat where it certainly is, I haven’t used voice but I’ve heard some people say that video has a very high delay. My friends and I will often share screens for one reason or another and I’m not sure that the experience would be comparable in Element yet.
Mumble isn’t comparable because it doesn’t implement any of the same features other than voice, it doesn’t have persistant logins, etc.
I hope Discord won't become the go to app for Linux gamers, when Linux becomes the go to OS for gaming ( one can dream right ! )
I mean it already is, Linux gamers play with their windows/mac friends. The alternatives aren’t as easy to use.
