These are just my thoughts after doing cursory research and testing over the week.
Many may opt to try to get around the age verification, but I'm concerned about Discord scraping private data from DMs and servers.
Let me know if you guys have any other suggestions or plans!
I wanted to address the Discord news as soon as it was announced but I've been so busy
I don't intend to stick around Discord much longer. As hard as it is, I don't recommend you do either. I would not give Discord ANY personal information
As for where to go, I'm still deciding
[Teamspeak]
Not open source, but allows self-hosting. TS has developed a lot over the years. If your main priority is voice chat and gaming as a group, TS might be a decent solution. Running your own server does require some effort or money, but it's easier than Matrix.
Been working on getting #CLIPSTUDIO working on #Linux ! Recently ditched Windows for Linux Mint, but CSP isn't officially supported.
For anyone interested, definitely recommend using Bottles and following this tutorial:

I would not recommend using Lutris
@PoofySheriff Sorry for not responding sooner!
In terms of "running it by itself": CSP has a launcher that you typically open to start the actual drawing program. In Bottles, you can set a shortcut to skip the launcher and just open the drawing program. I noticed if I do that, it uses less CPU
@PoofySheriff Not sure what's causing this, if it's just telemetry stuff from the launcher or if it's an issue with a program running in Bottles being used to launch another program.
I haven't done any scientific tests but this is just something I noticed
@PoofySheriff Oh, sorry, I was unclear: I was asking how you were going about emulating Win8 for CSP ^^
I actually just noticed something with CSP and Bottles: If I run CSP through the launcher, it has high CPU usage on some cores. However, if I run CSP by itself it uses much less CPU
@PoofySheriff I do notice it seems pretty CPU heavy through Bottles. Not sure if there's some settings that can be changed to alleviate that...
I've got an i7 13700k for development purposes, but I can hear my fan get louder when CSP is running.
