From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you must use discord for some reason use the web version in librewolf
I use the web version in Vivaldi, I've always had issues with video calls in Gecko.
There's a Flatpak version that's specifically intended to be more private. I have no idea how well it does that but functionally it works fine, so that's what I've used for a while.
