electron VS easyeffects

Still trash support on Linux too. We still cannot stream without frame rate issues and cannot stream audio with our video without piping through our mics. (the community fixed this for you: link)

SteamDeck and Linux users cannot stream properly (constant frame rate issues and absolutely no audio streaming). Its been FIXED by the community for years now (https://github.com/discord/electron/pull/22) but they just don't want to do it I guess?? If you are going to support the platform, SUPPORT THE PLATFORM. I'm not going to give you money for a product that doesn't work.

There is this https://github.com/discord/electron/tree/17-x-y from over half a year ago

But my golly gosh goodness me would I throw them a party in their honor if they would just update their 2 year out of date builtin shipped electron version that prevents all the progress we've made in the past few years from being at all relevant to their client.

You can see Discord's version of Electron on GitHub: This branch is 14 commits ahead, 2140 commits behind electron:main

The article from your quick google share says that you should use getUserMedia to capture the screen using Electron. Not only does Discord's client not use this, they even go as far as to disable it from their electron fork https://github.com/discord/electron/commit/e763956140aa6bf78f02202ab4df1e942ce672ae

They even forcefully disabled support for it in their version of electron, so there isn't even a way to use it via a betterdiscord plugin

The Discord Desktop app uses Electron and their Electron fork's source code is available on Github. If you take a look at their repo you'll see that one of the patches they apply is this one https://github.com/discord/electron/commit/ca8c921ed35c741acae57ea32c340f1eaf150044 that disables getUserMedia.

Linux: EasyEffects (free and open-source)

For DSP, we already can do that using something like Easy Effects[1][2].

The biggest issue is acquiring proper impulse-response data. In theory, it has to be tuned per-model, so turning basically require pro-grade equipment and a recording studio. However, apparently many people assume Dolby is using the same profile for all laptops, so just copy-paste the same file here and there. Not really sure which is the real case.

Anyways, Asahi can ship DSP turned on by default because the distro is specific to Apple. That's how Apple boosts the quality of its hardware, and the same applies to a distro dedicated to it.

- Easy Effects: Effects for PipeWire applications; configure your speakers & microphones (e.g. noise reduction filter)

Easyeffects maybe.

EasyEffects could be a replacement for EqualizerAPO. You can do some gain staging there if you want, as well as a bunch of other stuff.

Is this a general comment meant to apply to anything or are you specifically talking about Easy Effects here?

It has installation instructions in the README, links to a wiki page with more information (https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/wiki/Package-Repositorie...), the application contains full documentation under the "Help" item in the menu (as many applications do) and they also have the same documentation online (https://wwmm.github.io/easyeffects/).

Not sure what more you could ask for?

I guess they're referring to my tickets: https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/issues/2322 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/issues/3198
