Discord is a free all in one messaging, voice, and video client thats available on your computer and phone.
Whether you’re part of a school club, gaming group, worldwide art community, or just a handful of friends that want to spend time together, Discord makes it easy to talk every day and hang out more often.
- Talk to your friends with messaging, voice, and video in a "Direct Message" (1 other person), group chat (up to 10 people), or a multi-channel server (practically infinite maximum members).
- Discord servers are organized into topic-based channels where you can collaborate, share, and just talk about your day without clogging up a group chat.
- Grab a seat in a voice channel when you’re free. Friends in your server can see you’re around and instantly pop in to talk without having to call.
- Get a community of any size running with moderation tools and custom member access. Give members special powers, set up private channels, and more.
- Low-latency voice and video feels like you’re in the same room. Wave hello over video, watch friends stream their games, or gather up and have a drawing session with screen share.
- Available on Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and your web browser.
Discord is written in Javascript, React, Elixir, and Rust. The desktop application uses the electron framework.
The flatpak version runs in a sandbox to provide better safety and privacy for users. However, this sandboxing prevents the following features from working out of the box: Game Activity, Unrestricted File Access, Rich Presence. Check the README in the Github repo for details.

The Flatpak version feels poorly maintained and unreliable. On Linux, Settings can break because Discord tries to access system features it does not have permission to use, instead of handling those limits properly. Basic configuration should not fail this badly.
It works perfectly, no problems. I personally find that it runs better under Linux Mint than on Windows 11.
The app does exactly what it is supposed to do. Some few features are not working with the Flatpak version, which is a side-effect of the Flatpak system, not the app. This can be solved with manual commands. My rating is privacy related, not functionality. If you don't care that the company behind Discord can spy on you, it is a great app. The only thing besides privacy problems, is that it is showing annoying popups from time to time, which are advertising paid features. Also, streaming is possible only at 720p (if you use the app without paying for it), which is often not enough to recognize texts on someone elses screen. But for a free feature, I cannot complain too much. Use alternatives if you need that.
Olvídalo, pensé que Discord Flatpak tenía fallas pero parece que un componente de mi pc fallaba.
Ahora se actualiza desde su propio gestor de actualizaciones y ya no necesitas descar el .deb desde el navegador lo cual es una mejora que se agradece, no he probado el chat de voz pero por lo demás funciona bien.
the service itself is ok, but the company sucks and makes the service way worse. if you use discord still, either use the vesktop app or use it in the browser
Garbage, buggy app, owned by a company that often sells your data and lies. Fluxer is Better.
Between the Gradual Enshitification and now Global privacy violations baked in i cant recommend this anymore, Self hosted solutions are the only way forward.
I've tolerated this app becoming worse and worse over the course of years ever since it replaced TS3. Every new update a new pop up window, a new ad banner, more bloat. Back when I was on Шindows there was nothing I could do about besides never turning off my computer, but now even on Linux I don't think the social impact is even worth it with how flagrantly abusive this company is. Don't use discord.
I despise having to use this because everybody else uses it. These are the things I hate. #1 it uses over 400MB of memory, in comparison a youtube tab with HD Video and hundreds of comments loaded uses less than that, and it gets worse whenever someone is streaming. This is ridiculous for something I need running in the background constantly. #2 The updates are annoying. Instead of using the update manager, for whatever reason, discord makes you open your browser download a .deb package, which you then have to install, only for the client to then install the updates again using the discord update manager. All these updates seem to do is make the ui worse. #3 Discord uses your data for advertising. Most of this staying in the app right now, but I imagine they'll start sending this out once they realise that they need more money to run the service. There are settings for turning these advertising features off, but they are on by default, and even though I might be the one person on earth that reads the privacy policy updates, I was not informed of this. #4 It looks ugly. They seem to have removed the option to use the system title bar in a recent update, and the one they force us to use looks out of place compared to everything else, and all so there can be some useless buttons there.
This discord app works well! Easy to communicate with friends via video, voice, or chat
I've been using it for a few months and it's been running smoothly for my use cases.
Missing functions. Just download the .deb from the homepage to get the features Flatpack breaks.
saccade audio quand je lance un logiciel comme steam et certain jeu.partage video ,saccade . la version navigateur aucun souci.
I am using Discord for years now, and while it's not perfect, it is awesome. Using it on LMDE6 without issues, no crashes or bugs, everything works as much as the web or windows version. You can chat, have voice and video calls, share pictures, stream. I can't complain.
Been using Discord through the browser version and on Windows since 2020 and it's so far been great. Discord has its issues that most people (including myself) will wail about to no end but in the end it gets the job done and is insanely versatile compared to more popular chat services. On Linux it functions just fine and I haven't had any issues with it.
