  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

    I can't stand that I can't close discord until I have touched that stupid dropdown, to the point I have uninstalled discord and just use a matrix bridge or the browser version.

    I'm on endeavouros so the deb file is pointless

    yay discord

    Yes.

    Even screen share is fixed in wayland now! I believe that the flatpak version was on the cusp of supporting it too so it might already. I kinda stopped caring about it when everything worked, which is certainly a good sign.

    I started using Discord in 2015 and around 2019 uninstalled it in favor of using it exclusively through a web browser (blocking as much of it's nonsense as possible). Discord takes too many resources hostage if anyone in your server is streaming something, even if you're not watching it. I don't have that issue when using Element (Matrix), Jitsi or any of Steam's broadcasting tools. The only reason I haven't deleted my Discord account yet is because some people I hold dear are incapable of trying something better nowadays (even when they already have it installed as is the case of Steam).

    I wrote a small bash script to curl the latest .deb, install it, and delete it because i was having this problem too. shame it can't just auto-update or let me use the old version

    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.

    me: so ppa?

    discord: no ppa only deb

    Flatpak 🀷

    It behaves the same way on Windows, but is a little better at cleaning up after itself when it updates. It’s poorly architected.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

    The Windows version definitely does not open your default browser to download a new installation package which you then need to install yourself.

    I don't use a Debian based distro like Ubuntu anymore (arch BTW), but could you not just add their repo and do an apt update && apt upgrade?

    Honestly, I really dislike apt and how you have to add random repos which is why I don't use it anymore. I moved away even before snaps.

    Ps, I love the AUR.

    [–] feannag 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    They don't have a repo as far as I know. Hence the manual .deb install.

    yay discord ftw

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

    Discord sure does feel like a 0.0.x version

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

    Mine updates with all my other stuff. Not sure why you'd need to download it every time. I installed it with pacman.

    It's not just me!

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

    I have been using goofcord, its functional. I am moving to matrix after the enshittification of discord though.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    In endeavour all I need to do is close it, run yay to update, open. "Lucky Day" gone

    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.
