No Problem :)

I think there is an APP for all major Plattforms (Desktop and Mobile):

https://stoat.chat/download

iOS and Android are listed.

Or what do you mean with mobile client?

Maybe Stoat/Revolt is for you. Stoat has - in my opinion - the same look and feel as discord.

It is OpenSource, selfhostable and it comes with most features discord has - excluding nitro.

There is an Android, Linux and Windows APP.

Also you could try a software named “Bottles” (https://usebottles.com/download/ ).

It has a pretty simple GUI and you can click your configs together.

At first you have to define a “bottle” which simply represents an virtual environment for your Windows-Application or Game.

You can define which Windows Version you want to create and it asks you, if it is a Desktop-App or a Game you want to run. And based on that it will create an environment prepared for your Individual situation.

It also supports proton.

If you have any App you used before and isnt available on Linux: You can try to install the .exe-file with a Tool named “Bottles”.

Each Programm you run with that tool gets its own virtual Space, so if you mess something up, you can throw that one bottle away and just create another in its fresh New environment.

It has a clean UI and you can play with all kinds of different configs to get your Bottle to run. You can choose between different Windows Versions for example.

Under the hood it uses Wine and Proton.

Pro-Tip: Start Programms via the UI in “Terminal-Mode” so you can See potential Error-Messages which you would normally not see, if you just run the Programm.

Thanks for the lookup to that article! Very Informative and entertaining

In my experience shit just works in Linux. I own an 10+ year old external DVD-Drive and an newer external BD-Diskdrive. And both of em work flawless on Manjaro.
