I'll figure it out
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
Everyone here is shouting flatpak, but I'm gonna shout flatpak of Vesktop!

I like that I can make the light theme not ass
discord.com/app
idk i just use the website
for some reason it crashes on Firefox when i enable audio, but my mic doesn't work anyway so you know it's not a big deal
edit: fix typos
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 π€·
It behaves the same way on Windows, but is a little better at cleaning up after itself when it updates. Itβs poorly architected.
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.
They don't have a repo as far as I know. Hence the manual .deb install.
yay discord
ftw
Discord sure does feel like a 0.0.x version
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.
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!
I have been using goofcord, its functional. I am moving to matrix after the enshittification of discord though.
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.
