Well yes, it was, but it worked, and it was still better than everything else. I’ve been on discord for 9 years.

Embedded browsers aren’t necessarily bad design. They’re super fast to develop, and if done well, can work super efficiently. A browser can have a billion tabs open and work just fine. The same can go with an electron app given that the devs give 2 shits about optimization.

Though if the Discord team doesn’t care about optimizing the electron app, they wouldn’t give a shit about optimizing a desktop app either.

Remember to review bomb it immediately once this drops

Not really. At the beginning it was amazing. It took 0 resources to run while gaming and the call quality was miles ahead, nevermind the flexibility around servers and what you could do with them.

Then, as all things, it turned to shit once ot gained market share.

You guys should really tell us normies how to start. For example, the easiest thing is to check approved hardware for a specific distro. Ubuntu has a list. Nobody told me this in my over 4.5 years working with ubuntu during uni, at work and sometimes at home.

(I don’t get much time to research…)

The trick is to buy linux-approved hardware.

For example, there are specific machines which are approved by ubuntu as officialy working with ubuntu.

Thinkpads are generaly good to use.

Consumer Thinkbooks (Shitbooks) like the 16 G7 IML are NOT at all compatible.

You gotta work your hardware around linux a bit.
