Does anyone have issues with Discord? (lemmy.ca)

My PC freezes up quite often while using Discord, it reacts to nothing except force shutdown :( Otherwise it's been running great since I started using Mint last year.

I personally use Vesktop, which I think is available as a flatpak. My primary reason for finding an alternative discord client was that I couldn't figure out how to get audio working when streaming games in a voice channel; I spent a long time trying to understand the idiosyncrasies of Linux audio before I realised that it was just a Discord problem, and that it was prevalent enough that it had already been fixed by multiple different people.

I believe that overall stability has been better since switching to Vesktop, but it can still be a bit janky. I think that some of this is related to audio problems (possibly a combination of audio and insufficient RAM).
