It's one of the worst Linux desktop programs I use daily. It gets scaling a bit wrong so all the icons look blurry, scrolling in chats regularly breaks (scroll wheel just does nothing but is fine in all other programs), and the one time I tried to video call in it it crashed. Discord's client is much better.

Are you using the Telegram-provided build instead of a distro build? Distro builds of it are often broken IME.

Flatpack and Snap versions both work ok.

I'm using the distro (manjaro) build, which is also pretty good. No idea how good the AUR versions are.

I'm using the manjaro build, I'll try Telegram's own build, thanks.

For what it's worth, Telegram's scaling on windows is also broken. Use it with one 100% and one 200% scaling monitor, on the HDPI everything is too small to read.

Strange. I'm on a HDPI screen (XFCE) and don't have any issues with Telegram.
