⚠️ PSA to Linux users who use X11 ⚠️
Are you using X11 and running into an issue where you can't open any applications? Discord might be the culprit.
The Linux build of Discord has a really obtuse bug that opens too many X11 clients, leading to 256 open clients limit being reached, therefore not being able to open any application. The number of client connections start small, but it slowly climbs up until it reaches the 256 limit, this suggest some sort of leak.
If you run into a situation where you can't open any application, closing Discord should fix the problem.
This is a really obtuse bug,
so people don't get confused on why suddenly they can't open applications anymore, and maybe share this to anyone who report not being able to open any application on X11!
