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.

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 Iβve edited config files to have it lie about its version number to get it to keep working.
Samesies, but on EndeavourOS

Packaging desktop apps via deb (or other system package managers) is obsolete and should be frowned upon.
cue the angry comments from cranky old people

Also, packaging electron to flatpak sounds most stupid idea ever...
Sandboxing proprietary apps and containerising their outdated dependencies is a good thing.
@monogram is not electron already have sandbox?
Yes the built in browser sandboxes the website code, but the nodejs part has full freedom to encrypt your stuff and ask for bitcoin ransoms or ai scrape your browser history for better user profiling. YMMV
Why? The browser client is ok.
Not if you need system wide PTT
I fucking hate discord.
No wait.
I fucking hate the people who use discord.
In all honesty I just use the browser now as that's been the best experience with Discord for me.
Third party apps are way better than the native client
Yup this. Tho if matrix gets desktop streaming I'm gone.
Element already has desktop streaming as an experimental feature. Worked fine last i tested it. Currently planning how to trick my social circle into using it.
I also want to go check out the new TeamSpeak, it's supposed to be a decent Discord alternative - Even though Discord originally replaced it.
My experience with Discord, period:
That's why I use third party apps
I mean there is always the flatpak version
I actually use the Vesktop Flatpak. It's got working screen sharing with audio on Wayland (not sure if the official client has implemented that yet) and it has Vencord preinstalled for plugins and themes.
I must be getting old.
If you really need to use discord, use the flatpak version or better yet, use Vesktop.
Flatpak
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
