Ooohh a useful response.
Wait seriously? Does this stop it from forcing me to update it when an update is available but it’s not in my package manager yet?
Yes. I can confirm, it works even on Gentoo. But I stick to the Flatpak version, anyway, because there I was able to tell it to use Xwayland instead of wayland directly (through Flatseal).
It seems the wayland support isn’t great yet and it tries to grab keys combination that are reserved for my window manager (Gnome). In the flatpak sandbox I don’t have any issues.
Only game running game detection will not work in the sandbox.
Or is there even a setting to tell it, using the X11 backend so that the keybind issues for the native version go away?
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
I use Vesktop, it has a flatpak release and flatpak auto-updates it for me. Also it includes Vencord, so I can add as many plugins and custom themes I want.
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.

Or better yet, host your own TeamSpeak server.
Speaking of which, are there any decent FOSS alternatives? Discord got banned in my homecountry and forcing it through VPN or proxy is a total pain in the ass. Forced my friends to move to TS as that’s what we used back in the day… like a decade ago, but maybe there’s something modern and more open nowadays?
Teamspeak doesn’t even have a fraction of Discord’s features. It’s a bad alternative.
from what i know either Matrix or Revolt
Revolt is more closer to discord but Matrix is better cause it has ee2e, you can host your own server and my favorite feature ClientsAre you looking for something like mumble?
Yeah, voice chat is all we need.
Get yourself a cheap root server, install murmur and never look back.
There was a post recently on c/privacy for a self hostable (relaying) peer-to-peer web based option! Its effectively release 1.0 and has some bugs (some serious security ones at the moment), but I think it has lots of promise!!
I’ll go grab the link for the post I saw…
teamspeak 6 (beta) is pretty nice.
Sick! Are you running a Linux client? Last I checked the self-hosted V6 server binary hadn’t released, if it’s finally out I’ll drop a brick!!
no, but afaik you can join ts3 servers on ts6, also tgey have a linux client. but im currently unsure if i installed it via pacman or AUR, but you can download a binary from their website
Nah, still no v6 server. At least, not on their main download page 🥲
Peersuite
i just use this bad boy
Btw
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.Yay!
Hell yeah
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 lolThat’s a wayland specific issue and I believe the Flatpack version was right behind the version that finally fixed that about 3 months ago. It should have the good version finally but I won’t bother to check.
Im not using wayland lol
Too many issues in linux mint (cinnamon) last time i tried :')
Using 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 believe the audio streaming issue on flatpak is resolved as of a month or two ago. But I’m typically with you, system packages for the most up to date experience in most cases.
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.
Flatpaks are a really bad idea.
Because?
Discord is trash software. Always has been.
Are there better alternatives you don’t have to self host?
It’s missing a field for multi-chat rooms.
Isn’t that just group chats? Or what do you mean with multi chat rooms?
Discord has a group chat feature and drag doesn’t really use it. It’s not what drag wants. Drag wants rooms with many chats inside. Permissions, topics, threads. A sorted hierarchy of chats with a sense of place.
Frankly, no, they all come with some caveat.
Revolt. It just needs a larger userbase.
Centralized service with questionable moderation
XMPP
Honestly people should go back to writing letters
Why do you need to update so much, Discord? What the hell are you doing? Suspicious. Very suspicious.
Does the same on windows. Either they’re constantly changing some really deep stuff that we don’t see or notice, or it’s not actually updating just “checking” for updates or loading but it’s just slow AF.
Nah, this isn’t the launcher doing checks and applying patches, I mean like I gotta download a new .deb (basically .exe) file with an incremental difference in the version number and unpack it over the old install.
Ridiculously frequently. Like, once a week at the very least.
Okay Jesus, I think that’s just someone at discord smoking something.
Just use a flatpak sheesh
My experience with discord on Linux :
programs.nixcord.discord.enable = true(I use vesktop, actually, but most people don’t know what that is)
Based and nixpilled
Goofcord is privacy hardened vesktop
use the browser
I just use the web version of discord :)
cause i have more control on the web version and i dislike electron
i cannot leave discord at this timeI’ve been using the browser client.
Same cause i dont like electron
The browser can’t do push to talk though, right?
It can but it’s useless
It only works if the browser tab is focused.
Not very useful as a PTT key.
Vesktop is nice.
Idk about you, but for me Manjaro just auto manages that via AUR. dont even have to do anything.
Huh, why does it use the AUR for discord? In Arch it’s just part of the Extra repo.
That repo always seems to lag quite a bit behind official releases. Multiple times on arch I’ve edited config files to have it lie about its version number to get it to keep working.
Samesies, but on EndeavourOS
