i just use this bad boy
Was going to say. I’ve been lucky. My only experience with Discord has been
sudo pacman -S discord. I barely use it, but I have some friends I keep in touch with on it.Btw
If you really need to use discord, use the flatpak version or better yet, use Vesktop.
This. Use Vesktop. Expand the features of Discord while outright blocking the shit.
Use the Flatpak or better yet stop using Discord.
It is so annoying when communities really want to have a discord. Particularly when they are somewhat technical and so any solutions that they might have are not search able.

Something seems fishy.
The flatpak has (had?) Issues of not being able to stream application or desktop audio. The system package can and is way more up to date.
Flatpak is not the solution to everything lolUsing the flatpak version on Fedora. That issue seems to be recently solved not sure when exactly just tried it the other day and it worked!
Thats good to hear. Might have to switch back to the flatpack then!
I never said it was. The Discord Flatpak always worked for me. Not saying it didn’t for you, it just hasn’t been my experience.
All that work, and it’s a web wrapper.
When l was on it I saw no point in running it outside a browser tab
Just use a flatpak sheesh
Mine updates with all my other stuff. Not sure why you’d need to download it every time. I installed it with pacman.
I have been using goofcord, its functional. I am moving to matrix after the enshittification of discord though.
Idk about you, but for me Manjaro just auto manages that via AUR. dont even have to do anything.
Samesies, but on EndeavourOS
On my aging laptop, the Discord app consumed RAM like Goku at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Moving back to a browser tab eliminated the overhead from Electron and was dramatically more performant as a result. This completely side-steps any upgrade and/or snap issues.
I just use the flatpak on arch, can’t be bothered to have a link to a deb or do a system update when discord wants a update.
Browser. website. basically the same experience without weird and/or shit integration into anything, share resources with the browser that’s open anyway, works fine, and allow easy customization because it’s a webpage anyway and you get to mess with the CSS/HTML/JS if you want to.
Discord sure does feel like a 0.0.x version
It behaves the same way on Windows, but is a little better at cleaning up after itself when it updates. It’s poorly architected.
Oh come on. This is every experience with linux.
I’ve been pretty deep in linux for years and never seen this.
I assumed there was something wrong with my setup because this UX is insane. Good to know it’s just shit.
