What alternative would you suggest if I just want to talk to my mates while gaming?
I gave up on setting up TeamSpeak after like an hour and many crashes and errors.
I was a TeamSpeak fan for many years when using windows, but on Linux I highly dislike it.
There is a pretty similar looking and function called Revolt that could be useful for getting people that are used to Discord to switch. I think they also have a long goal of being able to send and receive messages and calls with Discord. Obviously they don’t have that atm, but it is open-source and nice to at least know about in the event a quick exodus of Discord is needed.
Guilded is a much better alternative. Gives you all the Nitro stuff for free. But ultimately is a for-profit company owned by MS Roblox so it’s destined for the same shitty fate in the future. Their monetization model is more like Patreon where people pay to support their favorite communities.
Matrix is another one but its incredibly slow and incredibly lacking in features and not nearly as private as it’s made out to be.
Fuck discord.

Mumble (is comoletely free software and has a better quality even than teamspeak)

You can use Mumble instead of teamspeak.
