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.

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.

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.

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.
