Admittedly haven’t tried calling with it, that being said I still need to reinstall it on my main laptop (only recently switched to Linux on that, was using an old laptop with Linux before that), so I’ll try some stuff again
Viber and Discord aren’t free (libre) software and should be avoided. I’ve never ran them because of that reason. However, I’ve heard lots of complaints of proprietary mainstream applications not being great on Linux.
Neither of which run well on Linux. Don’t use proprietary software when there are other options
I’ve been running Discord just fine on Linux. It’s just a web wrapper, after all. What issues have you been having with it?
Screen share on Wayland is completely broken
From what I’ve read online that’s a problem with Wayland not Discord.
Discord was not made for Wayland and has failed to provide an update
Armcord has a plugin fix for that I believe!
Armcord doesn’t have global keybinds yet though (no push to talk/mute toggle unless you are tabbed into armcord) which is even worse imo
Recently it’s stopped opening links in my browser and won’t let me upload files to discord.
Last time I tried Viber, it ran fine on Linux, what issues have you had with it?
Discord also works pretty well, minus the white flashing when scrolling through GIFs for me
I had a problem with Viber on Linux, it crashed when picking up or starting a call, but that was quickly fixed.

“Neither of which run well on Linux.”
“I’ve never ran them because of that reason.”
Yikes.

Not really. It technically uses a heavy modified kernel but that’s about it
