    1. Discord window renders fully black after updating electron43 to 43.7.0 on CachyOS. The window opens, title bar updates correctly (e.g. shows "(N) Discord | Friends" once loaded), arRPC starts, but the webContents surface itself stays solid black — no UI is ever visible.…

    2. I think having a toggle would be nice because as it stands the troll face is just a tad obnoxious in practice so it would be nice to just have a stock toggle for those who don't care. Add stock toggle, or bundle the original splash in the files for easy switching back I've tried…

    7. lynxstxrtouchvt windows 10 exe When joining a voice channel the program hangs for a little bit before it connects and is really slow to respond I expect me to instantly be able to connect to voice without a delay and waiting on endpoints. I dont know it was like this since i…

    8. Linux Mint Cinnamon Opening a stream with selected audio does not play audio. Using the mic workaround technically works, but it's not really ideal (you can't talk and it sounds like garbage). To be able to stream with audio that doesn't suck. IIrc, there is an upstream fix for…

    12. When moving from Vesktop -> Equibop on Linux Fedora (latest release + GNOME), I noticed that when selecting on both RPM and Flatpak, that the window briefly flickers (to "rescale"). I am using Wayland, if that's of any use. Given Vesktop does not have this issue, I suspect it…
