Discord is going to shit
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)
-
Another new feature, another button placed on the wrong place so we accidentally click them all the time...
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.

Discord's framework is dangerously old and no longer receives security patches
There is this https://github.com/discord/electron/tree/17-x-y from over half a year ago

Krisp is coming to Discord on Linux!
But my golly gosh goodness me would I throw them a party in their honor if they would just update their 2 year out of date builtin shipped electron version that prevents all the progress we've made in the past few years from being at all relevant to their client.
- RCE Vulnerability found in Electron, affects Discord, Teams, and more

Zoom can now (as of version 5.11.0) share screen on Wayland
You can see Discord's version of Electron on GitHub: This branch is 14 commits ahead, 2140 commits behind electron:main

A Letter to Discord for not Supporting the Linux Desktop
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

One of my biggest hopes for the steamdeck is that it prompts Discord to fix their shit
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
-
Sharing screens with sound is still not supported in Discord for Linux, and it is the only reason I dual-boot Windows. Please upvote the feature request!
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.

Krisp is coming to Discord on Linux!
Noisetorch wasn't working properly for me for some reason. I used MagicMic instead and seems to work really well: http://magicmic.ai/

A tonedeaf statement
Finding a good Noise Suppression solution was… challenging. After using Cadmus and NoiseTorch (and both of them having problems) I first used some weird obscure thing called magic mic which imo has by far the best quality (basically on par with krisp) but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work anymore and it had very noticeable audio latency so… yeah.
What are some alternatives?
