Yeah, that shit is super annoying, it’s been happening for years. I’m surprised they haven’t turned it into a self contained updater or something by now. It’s part of the reason I don’t use it anymore.
Don’t use discord then. When you use Discord you are making a small sacrifice on your computing freedom.
It sucks but you can’t change and distribute the source code.
That’s what I an going to do
go to
~/.config/discord/settings.json
And change “SKIP_HOST_UPDATE” to true
Thanks!
Wuzzatdo?
Skips the host update
It disables the forced update requirement for the Discord client.
Thank you!
Wow I wonder if there is a wiki where you can find that exact work-around🙃
I in fedora, I click the drop down and I pick tar. Once I download the tar, I copy the files and done.
Download the gerneric linux version. Then un-compress it and copy the contents into your system discord directory. Maybe make a back-up copy first, just in case.
And you have to do it everything a new minor update comes along… Great.
Run it in a VM or at least sandbox the program.
I think flatpak version doesn’t have this issue and updates normally via flatpak commands.
I moved to flatpack Discord because it comes with automatic updates and no update annoyances. It is indeed lower maintenance, but note that because of privacy constraints Flatpack does not permit Discord to view running applications.
I am sure you can use Flatseal or something like that to open it up. I’ve had to do similar for games.
Same for me on NixOs. Krisp noise cancelling doesn’t work on the repo version
flatpak is kinda a everything or nothing thing, if you want to use it you should probably really commit to it for the best experience, otherwise some of it’s upsides turn into downsides.
I’m not a huge fan of it, but i like it as an ecosystemAgree. The downloads are really chonk but you make it back if you have multiple apps that share the same runtimes.
It’s possible to use flatpack for just one or two apps, but you pay a disk space and download size tax.
Seems like a plus to me
I use Vencord anyway
I one up this
I just use the web app on that quite rare occation I need to use discord.
Why not use in the browser
don’t want
try Vesktop
You can get Vesktop from Flathub if you want. It’s a third party client with extensions, themes, updates you can do whenever you want and better Linux support for screensharing.
For me doing “pacman -Syyuu” works.
