Mumble is much better for gaming. It’s lightweight and doesn’t use the GPU at all. Since it’s self hosted, there is no ID verification.
Mumble is also ONLY voice chat. The problem is that Discord is so many useful things at the same time - text chat, voice chat, video chat, and game streaming, all integrated together seamlessly - that it’s hard to move off of when you need a whole suite of applications to replace it.

This is not true. Mumble does text chat as well. Please don’t spread misinformation.
I’m not sure you could say that Mumble does text chat. What it has barely qualifies as text chat at all, much less fully-featured text chat. It exists as much to communicate system messages as anything else.
