Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • 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.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 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.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    1. 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.

    [–] zoe@jlai.lu 5 points 1 year ago

    yea webcord is cool

    [–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

    +1 for WebCord

    At least on arch it'll tell you there's an update and prompt you to install the deb file but you can just update it with pacman and you're good to go. Usually end up doing my pacman -Syu when discord yells that it needs an update

    And on the holy Arch wiki there's a way to disable the update prompt, so you don't get locked out of discord when it has update but it hasn't arrived into the repos yet.

    opt/discord/resources/build_info.json then change version in it :)

    I think you can just somehow sisable the automatic updates once for good.
