Why not just use Touch-ID? I’m sure all of their employees use Macs anyways.

Given how long certain core functionality in Discord has been completely broken on Linux, I find this a little hard to believe.

FWIW, with a Discord install from a .rpm made with RPM Outpost's discord rpm maker[1], Discord works perfectly for me on Fedora. The only issues I've had is when I used the flatpak. Though I do suppose Discord should take some flak for only providing .deb files.

P.S. I run a repo that provides Discord, ArmCord, th-ch/youtube-music, and appimagelauncher for Fedora: https://askiiart.net/repos/fedora/x86_64/askiiart.repo

Well, it provides whatever I feel like adding. I'm a pretty bad maintainer, but Discord is always up-to-date, at least.

Does screen sharing with desktop audio work?

Yep, works perfectly. I had issues at some point, but it's fixed now.

Apologies, I have edited my previous comment.

Sorry that was supposed to be sarcasm.

Edit: I literally wrote it, laughed and then forgot to delete it bc I knew it would be read incorrectly.

A number of MacBook users leave their laptops shut and plugged into external monitors a large fraction of the time, making the sensor awkward to get to.

Employees with MacBooks do primarily use touch id. They get a Yubikey for redundancy.
