  • I think Element has the best chance of being a viable discord alternative. Especially with matrix 2 around the corner.

    Element X (their new mobile app) loads as quickly as discord and supports e2e calls as well as chat.

    It is a different app than discord though. It does not feature the nice server layout that discord is kind of known for but it is planned with spaces.

    I say give Element another year or two and it will be a very formidable chat program.

    And I have no doubt they are doing well financially and will continue to push improvements as matrix is very widely used. I mean hell apparently Nato uses it

    Play on linux is extremely old at this point and isn’t really updated.

    I understand that it was a tool that worked well for you in the past and you could probably get it working with the right dependencies but if I am being honest. It’s not worth it.

    Wine has improved drastically in the last few years and with that a lot of new apps have come around.

    My personal favorite is bottles as it is very easy to use and works well for both games and applications.

    Another option is lutris but it’s a lot more oriented towards games than applications.

    I hope I was of some help and good luck
