The Discord team just revealed another major update for the social chat platform, and Linux gets a little attention this time too.

      And Discord’s is particularly bad. Even Windows takes its time between update checks. It’s the first thing Discord does every time you launch it.

    I think I use the Flatpak, and it always updated on startup. Same way I remember it updating on Windows. Of course, it would also still update through Discovery, so maybe the pre launch update was just for show

    I just installed Linux on my gaming PC a few days back. Yesterday I had to update discord manually and was a bit annoyed by the process.
    This comes at the exactly right time

    Why the hell don’t they just create an apt repository?

        Fedora users are becoming like “I run arch btw” meme people?

        I understood what the poster wanted, let’s not “infight” in these important times :-)
