#1 Discord complaint for me will always be how bad updating it on Linux is. Launch program, get a popup telling you to click to download. Then having to manually install it. (to be fair, my linux tablet does just open it and install it for me, and I have no idea why this machine is making me run dpkg -i on the reg)

Sometimes it updates multiple times like this over the course of a week.

in reply to @dosmeow's post:

back when i was on manjaro it was the absolute worst, because there's no download for arch-based distros and meanwhile the update wouldn't actually be in manjaro's repository for like a week :eggbug-nervous: so i would have to download and unzip the tar.gz every time

for posterity, you can stop discord from doing this by editing ~/.config/discord/settings.json and adding "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true inside the curly brackets (remember to add a comma as it's a json file)

if your distro is like ubuntu and offers the option to install the snap version, use that; it's what I do on my laptop now, because constantly going through the nonsense of fully uninstalling and then reinstalling using the new .deb and potentially having to reset a bunch of config options got beyond annoying

for ones that don't, well... this is Discord's fault and they're never fixing it, most likely. and so we grump
