OpenAsar VS xdg-desktop-portal

OpenAsar might fix this

Currently I use webcord but I used to use OpenAsar, which has an option to ignore an update when it is available. You can use an alpm hook to automate the process.

yep, theres this thing called openasar that can disable it :3

Discord on Linux (which Chromebooks effectively run) is gobeshite, utter trash. Try using it in the browser and if that doesn’t work try https://openasar.dev or https://armcord.xyz

Have a look at open asar https://github.com/GooseMod/OpenAsar

OpenAsar fixes this iirc

If you only want to use a theme then you can also use https://openasar.dev/ With this you can add a CSS code for the theme you would like to have and it runs on the normal Discord client.

Not really it’s kinda like a rewrite of some of discords source code, it explains it better on the website https://openasar.dev

if you really rely on discord you could use something like this as a bandaid to remove some telemetry. mainly for crashes and error. also gives some nice little extra features. https://github.com/GooseMod/OpenAsar

Up to the compositor.

>Global shortcuts

Also up to the compositor. Was added to xdp in https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/data... so it's up to the compositor's xdp impl to provide it. It was created by a KDE dev so I assume KDE implements it at least.

Works just fine. I use OBS.

Never had any trouble with it.

On its way: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/711 / https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.free...

> - Several problems with multiple screens

Haven't had any more than on X11, but then again I do use Nvidia hardware on Linux.

It might help, but at this point Linux containers can't really stabilize the whole environment, especially for games. Particular pain points include accelerated graphics (which theoretically can have a stable kernel interface, but in practice is so complex and performance-sensitive that it's not stable enough to be a "reference platform", so to speak) and modern game controllers (which present a whole mess of concerns typically "addressed" in Flatpak by granting the device=all permission and hoping for the best [1]).

I also know a guy who ran into issues with a kernel update breaking a custom allocator, although I don't know the fine details. That wasn't for a game, but games also use custom allocators for various reasons.

I don't use Wayland, but it seems xdg-desktop-portal since 1.16.0 has a 'Global Shortcuts portal'. Perhaps check it out.

It's being discussed: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/611

The first bug report was filed in early 2022 but unfortunately no progress yet on the matter, even after numerous similar reports ever since.

Yeah been having the same issue since I changed to using the unstable branch, supposedly noticed and fixed upstream for a few variants of the problem (different people with different configurations of DE and xdg-* deps installed report the same issue due to timeouts of the other portals)
