Help I use Debian on the desktop and don't understand the implications
I havenβt used it on Linux, but on Windows I need to fight it to understand my headset, every freaking time the computer has been rebooted. Any other program just gets it. I feel like OPβs photo

Discord is trash software. Always has been.
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.
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.
Had zero issue with the flatpak.
~/.config/discord/settings.json
"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true,
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 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.
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.

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 lol
I believe the audio streaming issue on flatpak is resolved as of a month or two ago. But Iβm typically with you, system packages for the most up to date experience in most cases.
That'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 :')
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.

I'm going to link this thread the next time someone screeches at me for using windows. The responses in here are so diverse and some of them are just perfection.
yeah... its almost like corporations are actively working to make computing worse and keep you in the hands of profit-driven initiatives.
no, it's the Linux nerds who are wrong!
Discord cares what OS you use?
Nobody is sabotaging Linux desktop. It's simply too much effort for most of the general public.
My experience with discord on Linux :
programs.nixcord.discord.enable = true
(I use vesktop, actually, but most people donβt know what that is)
Goofcord is privacy hardened vesktop
use the browser
Based and nixpilled
In endeavour all I need to do is close it, run yay to update, open. "Lucky Day" gone
