Regardless, even if they backpedalled even further I feel as if the trust is already broken.

Oh well unity, you were fine tool for independent developers before the corporate greed hit.

I have a secondary discord account I use primarily for streaming, It works pretty well and I haven’t had any issues.

I used to use the secondary account in a web browser and manually patch in the audio to it’s mic input with pipewire and a patch bay.

The main reason I use discord-screenaudio is because I’m lazy and it’s slightly faster than manually doing it; Also it allows you to actually have the audio come out from the stream like on the standard windows client, as opposed to using the mic input for audio.

Oh yeah for sure, I just thought it was funny. I explicitly install most things through my primary package manager, but for some things in my use case, Flatpak is definitely the call!

So, I only have 3 applications installed through Flatpak (Bottles, discord-screenaudio, and Protontricks), but for compatibility sake Flatpak will have a few different NVIDIA drivers and their 32bit versions installed for application functionality.

Most of the time, between updates I will have 3-4 different ones installed at any given time. It’s nothing super upsetting, but it is “Mildly Infuriating” as its a slight loss of a couple gigabytes of space.
