Holy $*&^ I thought I was one of the only people experiencing this issue. Like Megavolt, I’m using XFCE and this morning at work, I tried (twice) to run Discord and everytime it brought my workstation to a grinding halt; Spotify stopped playing music, Chromium froze, etc. Here’s the output from “inxi -b” for me:

Despite the uptime, everytime runs fluid. So it’s no an uptime issue (at least for me). Like I said, everything runs liquid smooth. It’s only when I launch Discord and (what’s his name) Claude (?) (The Discord icon’s name) does his spinning that the entire machine just comes grinding to a halt. I’m half tempted to run fiddler and see what the hell it’s doing but I’ve debugged so many other developers stuff (gaming at home) lately, that I just don’t have the energy to try to debug yet another other-developer thing.
EDIT 1 (12/18/2020 8:44:11 AM ET): Formatting
EDIT 2 (12/18/2020 8:45:24 AM ET): Just tried to run Discord again (third time this morning), and it actually came right up… No idea wtf it was doing before, but it seems fine now shrugs
