Some clients are known for being a massive pain under Wayland. Here are great
replacements for them:
## Discord
- [WebCord](https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord) is a Discord client based on
the latest Electron, with support for the Wayland Ozone platform, as well as
PipeWire screensharing. It has tons of great features and tries not to
infringe on the Discord ToS.
- [Vesktop](https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop) Like WebCord, Vesktop is a custom Discord client with improved performance and Wayland support. It also has built-in screen sharing, and in addition has support for plugins and custom themes. Vesktop even supports proper audio sharing when you screen share. Note that Vesktop relies on Vencord, a custom Discord client mod, which violates Discord's terms of service. Use at your own risk.
- [dissent](https://github.com/diamondburned/dissent) is a Discord client
written in GTK4. While it does infringe on Discord's ToS, it's relatively safe
and doesn't rely on any webview technologies.
## Matrix/Element
[Fractal](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Fractal) is a Matrix client written in
GTK4. Much like Discord, Element is known to have a lot of problems as a result
of being based on Electron. Fractal currently doesn't support VoIP calling, but
all other features are supported, including E2EE and cross-device verification.
