Can’t I go one week without having to uninstall and reinstall the damn deb file?

I just use the flatpak and it updates just fine
Arch supremacy. My package manager handles everything.
And if it doesn’t, yay does. While also triggering pacman updates at the same time.
fuck discord
I really hope Revolt decentralizes someday (plus gets remotely relevant by usercount, no offense)
Not gonna happen, the developer made it quite clear from the get-go. Also, their community are quite hostile against it and pretty much most FOSS stuff for some reason.
I can see a fork taking what is useful about it (UI/UX) and adopting solid backends (federation, proper VoIP with screen sharing, etc.)
Wouldn’t it be easier to get something like Rocket.Chat + Jitsi and make them work well together?
- Use the flatpak. Or 2. Use the web app (discord.com/app) Or 3. Don’t use discord
I’d say webcord, iff the last option doesn’t work, ofc.
yea webcord is cool
+1 for WebCord
I use the flatpak version on my laptop and version from the repositorys on my main pc. So i either have to just update a flatpak or just do a full system update.
I used this every time (with
sudo):#!/bin/sh [ "$USER" != root ] && { sudo "$0" && exit; } latest_version=$( curl -sI 'https://discord.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb' \ | grep '^location:' \ | grep -m 1 -oP '\d[\d.]+\d' \ | head -n 1 ) sed -i.bak 's/\(version.*\)[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+/\1'"$latest_version"'/' \ '/usr/share/discord/resources/build_info.json'Let’s see how good the Flatpak version will be.
just fyi I moved Discord, GIMP, Obsidian, and OBS over to flatpak and my root partition jumped from 19GB to 23GB. I’m kinda sad about it tbh
Most storage space viewers get confused by Flatpak’s heavily deduplicated and compressed files, leading to them reporting way larger space than what’s actually occupied on the hard drive.
First of all, stop using legacy SI units for the size of information, they only bring confusion, instead use IEC/binary units like GiB. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix
Second of all, I know that with Flatpak’s ease of installation/runtime comes great size hit. It’s great that some layers are reusable, so it’s not a huge hit. Besides, with big disk size it’s not really a concern now is it?
Can you break the sed command down for us sed newbies? The ‘-i.bak’ thing is throwing me off
Normally sed just passes along the edited text to STDout (printing in the terminal usually).
With the -i option it actually changes the input files. If you add an extension immediately after the -i it apparently makes a backup of the original with that extension.

you can use openasar for discord and it gives you the option to not update.
the flatpak is the official distribution of the app now, so you might just want to move to that instead
EDIT: as for how well it works for those who doubt flatpak and discord in general, it works well! I’ve streamed video and received video streams on x11 and Wayland with no problems. Not sure if audio streaming worked in either case though.
I’ve used the flatpak version for years and never have any issues with updates.
In this day and age there’s still no repo for that? O_o

It has an official flatpak now
