Vesktop is a custom Discord App with an aim to give better performance and support on Linux.

v1.5.2 fixes various audio issues related to screensharing and also overhauls video streaming with various fixes/improvements:

  • Fix resolution and framerate selection
  • Fix bug that stops users from changing the streamed window (created by allowing resolution changes)
  • Fix bug where changing windows allows you to lower the fps but not raise it
  • Beautify modal for starting a stream(show preview and content type as a dropdown)
  • Fix issue where stream quality overlay does not update to show the current quality of the running stream
  • Enable contentHint and allow the user to choose between "motion" and "detail"
  • Allow users to start streams while watching another stream

5 years ago Valve released Proton? 5 years I’ve watch people build clients, hack and provide workarounds for Discord. All in the hope to get to work properly on Linux. Never quite getting there and never with the help of Discord. Discord does not care about the Linux community.

Then I see open source projects put support, documentation and their communities behind Discord.

I get that for some people, that’s where their friends are. But I can’t help but think how many cycles have been burned on this effort.
