The developer team at Discord released a new engineering blog post yesterday (December 8th) detailing lots of fixes, along with some Linux improvements. As one of the most popular chat apps in the world, it's good to see their support of Linux continue to get better over time.

There's really nothing else out there that can do all it does.

Man do I hate its UI though. Ick.

Using Matrix with Element instead?

If you aren't already using it, https://vencord.dev/ is a good Discord client mod that lets you get rid of some of the annoying features.

Might be against ToS, but so far I don't think people had any issues with it.

Another option (that I use when I don't need voice) is having your own Matrix server with Discord bridge. With double puppeting it can bridge both servers and DMs, and post in your name (without needing a bot on the server).
