How to get PTT on Discord with Wayland?

juampiursic

Hello! I'm trying to get PPT to work on Discord while being on Wayland, and AFAIK it can't be done but I have it on Fedora while on Wayland, I don't know what the hell does Fedora do to achieve that but there must be a way to do it on Solus, right?

juampiursic What desktop environment are you using? As far as I am aware, only KDE supports this functionality on wayland at the moment for X11 apps such as discord.

PPT?

ReillyBrogan yeah, like Staudey said, push to talk, my bad.

I assume that was meant to say PTT (push-to-talk)

does the flatpak discord works?

Yes, it works. I don't know why but I was under the impression that I was using Fedora's own Discord package from the repos, and not flatpak, that's why I thought what kind of magic was Fedora doing to get PTT working under Wayland. My bad.

GNOME. Like I said above, I thought I was using Discord from Fedora's repos, and thought somehow it was working under Wayland and could not get how it was not on Solus.

Thanks, it was my bad thinking Fedora was doing something that no one else was doing but I was using the flatpak version, and flatpak Discord on Solus works like on Fedora, PTT works, ha.

On Solus we default Discord to launch as a native Wayland window if the user is running a Wayland session. You might try reverting it to launch with xwayland by setting the DISCORD_NO_WAYLAND environmental variable in your bashrc and logging out and back in.
