Chrome is the one I see all the freakin time on Linux .... sometimes it's once a week but it's more like every two weeks they completely update the entire software, get rid of the old and install a new version. It wouldn't be a big deal but if you've tweaked any changes with one version, they get wiped everytime which forces everyone to stick to the software and never change it ever at all.

For the record, I use Firefox and only keep Chrome if I need the browser for any reason ... like casting.

    You clearly don't have Discord.

    I'm literally that friend! Just yesterday I set up a mumble server (it's called murmur!) purely out of disgust towards discord.

    The issue with matrix is it's unreliable. Text works, because it doesn't really matter if it arrives a minute or so late. Everything else kind of really sucks. The inability to decrypt my chats on all devices every now and then just straight up pisses me off. And they're not newly added devices - all of them have been signed into at the time of messages getting delivered!

    That shit has so incompetent devs that they're updating the fucking .deb file instead of using the internal updater to push every update.

    An entire update used to be something worthy, now it's all worthless.

    That's all handled by Electron, which doesn't support the auto updater on Linux.

    https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/auto-updater https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/1138

    Though I don't know if discord uses this specifically or rolls their own. Discord seems to auto update just fine until it's time for a bootstrap update.
