What about web-Skype?
Works quite well, IMO. And no need for installing Linux package, except for calls.

Also, you're wrong. Discord uses 443 for text chat and randomizes a UDP port for voice calls so you don't leave a single port open all the time.

It's broken, can't receive or send files, has the same problem with thumbnails, notifications are broken on Windows (for me at least) and can't properly copy/paste chatlogs.

It would be great if you learn how to professionally use a firewall so you can open/block ports when needed/not needed.

With the spam/malware on Skype, and rather shitty performance... it's getting more and more tempting to at least give Discord a chance.

Nope.
