    I don’t like them as a company, but If Discord gives a shit enough to invest in the Linux client to capture more users, Linux is on the right track to grow even more. They don’t care about Linux current user base. They want the user base of what it can become.

      If by “invest” you mean paying one person a few hours weekly to create an Electron app, then there’s already plenty of companies doing that. None of which have declared the year of the linux desktop for it. Or maybe all of them, who knows. It’s the decade of the year of the linux desktop.

    Yes, and? Do you expect anyone to head to YT for such an information-free headline?
