My experience with Discord on Linux

I must be getting old.

Yep. I didn't realize the flatpak version worked better. I never get those manual update prompts anymore and Software Center automatically updates Discord when there are updates.

Came here to say this. I was dealing with constant required .deb downloads and switched to flatpak. All the noise stopped.

I actually use the Vesktop Flatpak. It's got working screen sharing with audio on Wayland (not sure if the official client has implemented that yet) and it has Vencord preinstalled for plugins and themes.
