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.
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.
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.
Nutze Discord um Platfomübergreifend mit meinen Kumpels zu zocken. Funktioniert super!
Discord has become an ubiquitous platform for gaming communities, developers and others alike. If you want to join them, you need it. And it's pretty good too! The Flatpak is the right choice for something like Discord. No need accessing anything else, since everything is online on their servers anyway.
Doesn't care about OS theming but worse is the cursor size is super tiny. No amount of magic spell casting console commands that sets XCURSOR_SIZE or adds icon/theme directories into --filesystem seems to be working. This is the only flatpak I'm having issues with.
surprisingly, it worked out of the box for me. Basically the same experience as on Windows (so far)
It's fun to call, not so much to chat. A lot of normal features have been moved to the pay-as-you-go. The support is there purely for a tick. If they ban you (and they don't need arguments, they will ban you), they won't unban you.
There were some issues in the past, now it works flawlessly for me. Changing my review to 5 stars.
It works very well, the advantage over the version that is downloaded from the official website is that it updates itself and does not have to be reinstalled with each update. Funciona muy bien, la ventaja sobre la versión que se descarga desde la página oficial es que esta se actualiza por si solo y no hay que reinstalar en cada actualización.
This is a great flatpak version of the actual app, and you wouldn't know the difference. Superbly smooth and feature packed.
It works well, though if you care about sharing your activity status with friends or servers, this version doesn't see your games since it is sandboxed. File size is only large if this happens to be your first flatpak you download; it has to get all of the other files needed for flatpaks, not just Discord.
