Isn't it? It somewhat-works in the browser but you don't get proper noise cancellation there nor quite some other features. Their native client is using an ancient version of Electron that, at least on Linux, leaves a lot to be desired. No audio-share, no proper Wayland support, no High-dpi.

There are quite a few amateur GitHub projects with patches and repacks to show how things should be done.

If a client is only good on Windows, then it is not that good. Remember Skype?

    I game on Linux and discord worked fine for me. Anyways this isn't really an apples to apples comparison. The reddit client crashes a lot and injects ads in the feed and lacks all the nice stuff of 3rd party clients.
