Why run an app when you can just run it in a browser tab?
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.
me: so ppa?
discord: no ppa only deb
My biggest problem with it is that the updates are always kinda late hitting AUR.
Yeah this is annoying.
"It's your lucky day!"
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

It's not just me!
Mine updates with all my other stuff. Not sure why you'd need to download it every time. I installed it with pacman.
I'm currently building a distribution/hosting system, and for testing uploads I usually just grab a bunch of files in my Download folder.
Yes, 90% of files uploaded to my test server are Discord debs
It's a way of controlling the software .... it would be a lot more difficult to make changes, even change settings or adjusting the software from time to time if it's constantly being updated every week.
I noticed this with Chrome ... a few years ago, there were lots of settings, hacks and changes and adjustments you could make to the browser to avoid tracking, advertising and all sorts of other things and to generally make it run faster. All that activity is lost now because Chrome literally updates itself every week.
I run Linux and my software doesn't update it self that much ... the only thing that updates itself every week is Chrome .... the entire package about 50-60MB every time, wipes itself and reinstalls a new version every time ... so any changes you had made to the software or any attempt at adjusting anything in the deep software is all lost and reset over and over again.
Everyone here is shouting flatpak, but I'm gonna shout flatpak of Vesktop!
https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop
I like that I can make the light theme not ass
I liked this one over Vesktop (if you use Desktop discord) https://github.com/Equicord/Equicord
Love seeing me some alternatives in the wild
So. Very important for everyone here. You can bypasss the forced discord update.
I'm running with native electron (sure, electron) but it works great tbh
My experience with matrix be like: (I still prefer it to discord)
Do they have a repo?
Flatpak
Iβd rather just use a snap than that dumb shit.
Flatpak π€·
Discord sure does feel like a 0.0.x version
