> Discord doesn't work properly with Wayland

Is this specifically to do with screen sharing or streaming? I use it purely as a chat client under Wayland and it has generally worked fine.

(Now that I think of it, I've had a few weird crashes, but nothing which made it unusable)



> a few weird crashes

To OP's point, assuming it's limited to Wayland, this seems reasonable to call out as "doesn't work properly".


I think it might be more of a Discord problem. I've experienced "a few weird crashes" on Windows, Mac, and Wayland GNOME. Windows being the most problematic in general.


idk how we can blame some JavaScript and html inside Firefox causing a Wayland crash as Discord’s fault. They’re like 9000 layers of abstraction away from whatever SIGSEGV caused the crash

I don't see anyone talking about a Wayland crash, it's about Discord crashing.

I lost track of the indentation on my phone


> inside Firefox

I assume others are talking about the standalone client. Which, to be fair, I assume is also an Electron app but that's Chromium, not Firefox.
