How did you get discord installed? Last time I tried, it was buggy and crashed. But that was over a year ago I think.
Should be able to just install the flatpak from the desktop mode app store and then add it as a game in your steam library.
Yeah, that's what I did. Seems to be working.
Flatpak is official from discord now. Should be in the KDE discovery store in desktop mode. It shouldn't crash but discord isn't supported very well on Linux.
It isn't supported very well but I use it on my Linux laptop often and it works well. The major issues are scaling support because it uses an old version of Electron and screen sharing probably also an issue with Wayland/Electron. But the Steam Deck doesn't use Wayland so it shouldn't be an issue
Desktop mode doesn't yet, game mode does.
Oh neat, I didn't realize game mode uses Wayland.
