> Cross-Platform - You can reliably stay up-to-date on discord from basically every device you own with reliable notifications

Until there's a client update. When the client detects that an update is available, it asks to apply the update without any way to start without the update. So far, I had 2 weeks this year without the desktop client, waiting for the update to appear in the package repositories.

Yep, I ran into this a few times and now my `~/bin/discord` is just `chromium --app='https://discord.com/app'`.

Only missing push to talk, which I don't need on Linux. One of these days I hope browsers come up with a way for a webapp to request access to capture a particular key, in the same way it can ask for your mic.

That's not a cross platform issue but your packages being outdated. At least on Arch I haven't run into this issue once, it can self update just fine on linux.

I personally use Flatpak for Discord and Slack. I used to have issues with my package repositories not being up-to-date too, but this is much more convenient.
