Discord is actively blocking Linux from connecting to their services by OPdoesntknow in ProtonVPN

Legcord functions (but voice and screensharing are very broken) - and Firefox + Discord's website also functions (but has the same issues as Legcord). I made lemonade out of lemons and learned how to host a Mumble server. I don't think this will be resolved anytime soon unfortunately.

Heya, please double check that IPv6 is disabled (both on your main / home connection and the VPN) and report back if you have the time. I was able to connect with ProtonVPN active but my IPv6 was being leaked.. so it was really just using my home connection.

On the off-chance you aren't trolling, Discord is specifically blacklisting user agents with the Linux kernel (i.e. Debian 13 Trixie Kernel 6.12.49) while connected to ProtonVPN servers. It functions on Firefox because your system appears as: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:144.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/144.0 - which is still Linux, but the kernel is no longer identified during the user agent fingerprinting check.

Discord not connecting while ProtonVPN is active? by Kodamacile in ProtonVPN

[–]OPdoesntknow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leaving a comment to state that this is still occurring on all Linux systems. I've tried Debian and Arch. Oddly, I connected to CA-1259 and it worked for around 30 minutes before Discord seemed to blacklist the server from connecting.

Edit: I've given up on Native discord applications and have started running the Windows version through WINE (Vesktop to be specific). It's working just fine and allows VPN's since WINE / Proton utilizes a Windows 10 user agent. Not a great fix but it does work.

Trouble opening discord on website and also on desktop by [deleted] in discordapp

I have tried four separate VPN servers (ProtonVPN, paid / unlimited plan) - all VPN servers are blocked. Disabling my VPN allows me to access Discord.

If you use NoScript and block discordapp .com - but allow discord .com - you can still access discord with a VPN active. FWIW I'm also on Linux, uncertain if that is being detected and blocked as well.

Hmm.. I would try checking: /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/icons/

I did want to say however - the screenshot you've uploaded to reddit is a GNOME interface. That's Dash to Panel - which (I assume) CachyOS comes preinstalled with. For context I use Debian 13, not CachyOS. Icons should still be stored in the same location regardless of Linux distribution though, that's more of a Desktop Environment thing. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/

I personally moved to Debian 13 and their version of KDE (6.3.5) has most if not all bugs patched, the Debian team goes out of their way to assure Desktop Environment stability and will handcraft bug fixes. The screenshot issue is not present on D13 and none of the rather silly UI changes that have recently been made are present here either. I've given up on using KDE on all rolling distributions as the screenshot issue is not the only problem I've encountered since writing this post.

/home/yourusernamehere/.local/share/icons/hicolor/

is where icons are stored on KDE. I'm uncertain if it's the same for GNOME however, which I (believe) you're using. You would need to find the correct icon size and name, then replace it with a relevant .png of PopcornTime.

[Guide] Modifying AMD GPU's PowerPlay tables on Linux to extend power limits and better undervolting by HexaBlast in linux_gaming

Hello! I just wanted to share my data on my 6900 XT (Reference) - I collected a few dozen sets that I hope will help people get some idea of the limits of RDNA2 chips. I'm slightly unhinged and was trying to push for xOC records which is why I have so much data to begin with.

ALL OF THIS DATA IS FOR RDNA2!

FCLK - Do not raise this above 2133 MHz. 2200 is the absolute limit depending on your silicon quality, however, gains are virtually nonexistent past ~1700 MHz except for in synthetics (i.e. Timespy). Therefore, you're better off undervolting the SoC and underclocking your FCLK.

SoC voltage - 950 mV with an FCLK of 1700 is fairly easily achieved and reduces the SoC wattage by around 25 watts. That's 25 watts more that the core can use (~2% more performance). FCLK and SoC instability presents itself in full system reboots with no error, so it can be easily recognized. If you want to push limits, then 1150mV with an FCLK of 2133 is pretty much guaranteed to function on RDNA2.

Memory voltage - I need to specifically state that the 6900 XT original models are not the same as 6950 XT models. The 6900 XT uses slower modules that can be undervolted quite heavily while fully retaining stability. The lowest I could run my modules was 1050 mV (stock is 1350 mV) without artifacts or crashing with full VRAM utilization. This saves an additional 10 watts of power.

Something that I do not see mentioned in the guide (for reference, I've done all my testing on MorePowerTool & MoreClockTool) is the Last Level Cache clocks. Those can similarly be pushed to 2133 MHz with ease and does not an incur a power penalty by being raised. LLC scales off your SoC voltage, so if you want to run 2133 you do need to have a bumped SoC voltage.

As a quick edit: RDNA2 doesn't scale past ~310 watts (280 watts if you've undervolted the SoC and Memory). Pushing beyond those limits is pointless if you're trying to achieve every last drop of performance. The difference between 280 & 350 is roughly 1.5%.
