I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

dude discord has been one of the worst experiences for voip in gaming IME. I started using mumble SOLELY because discord was actually just disappointing. Though tbf maybe if i paid out the ass for nitro it's better? I ain't paying for that though.

Though yeah, for messaging, it's dogshit, It's a mess.

A funny advice I will give is recommending you and your friends use noise cancelling audio gear. It will help regardless of the platform.

this is honestly the only good thing about discord, the krisp noise reduction is actually kind of good. It only took them like 3 years to implement it on the linux client. And we've only had system wide noise filtering since the dawn of time.

Although since we're on the topic, discord manages input/output in the single most inconceivably stupid manner possible.

On Linux I use an app called NoiseTorch that creates a virtual mic to cut out background noise in any application

i messed with noisetorch for a bit, it seemed interesting, and worked pretty well. Nothing beats push to talk though tbh.
