discord VS com.discordapp.Discord

I will continue modding the client until they give me catppuccin

Discord: Catppuccin theme

Anyway — feel free to check catppuccin/discord repo on Github to find out more on this! It's still somewhat WIP but it's usable right now and will only get better in the future! —^

Problem starts here, unofficial Flathub package is unofficial. So when Discord pushes an update, whoever maintains that unofficial package is not notified about it by Discord. Until they notice it or someone notifies them, the Flathub package will not be updated. When Discord on Linux is not at the latest version, you don't let us keep using Discord, you give us error and two options as deb and tar.gz, one is incompatible and other one is hard to maintain. It's unofficial, but that doesn't mean using it is against ToS. If you read its source code, you will see it just downloads tarball from official Discord servers and make it compatible with Flatpak format. https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord

The flatpak package already uses this by default and we have been since June 2021 (https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/commits/master/disable-breaking-updates.py)

The problem is that it has to modify a user file not a system file. Packagers don't really like doing that. See https://github.com/flathub/com.discordapp.Discord/blob/master/disable-breaking-updates.py

Actually there is a flatpak and snap versions of Discord

They do have a flatpak for discord: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.discordapp.Discord. Which is all that I can really expect from an upstream. This is speaking as a previous Release Manager for NixOS.

Just use the Flatpak. Much simpler. https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.discordapp.Discord

Run flatpak install flathub com.discordapp.Discord (Also from the Flatpak website.)
