anyway if you are having this problem on arch, go here
I use equibop.
Haha Vermintide was a fun game
agree but this is from the Redwall cartoon
Today my Windows work machine would randomly lose mouse pointer use on file explorer. Nothing was selectable other than resizing the window or killing the window. Relaunching explorer would fix it for about half hour.
Also Setting Teams times for meetings etc, shows the list of times but when you go to click on them the dialog disappears.
Linux is way more stable than W11
yeah this aint a linux hate meme, i’m just goofing about the discord nonsense this week
I mean its true both ways :)
Discord is where information goes to die
Not for their AI plans they don’t. 🤑🤑🤑 /s
just dont use discord
Yeah Discord has been wacky on Linux lately, they pushed maybe 4 different updates the past week that forced you to update the package immediately.
Pro tip: Sync the package manager database before trying to update. It could tell you there are no updates when it’s just pacman being out of date.
Had this specific issue a couple days ago, but, to make it worse, the up-to-date package was not yet available. So discord would straight up not start at all.
So, to add another tip: telling discord to shut up about updates is the only reasonable response to that bs in my opinion. I’ll update when I want to, thank you very much. Just add
"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": truein the settings file at~/.config/discord/settings.jsonto put this software in its place.sometimes i use this one too
this is one of the fixes the manual i cited suggests, legit fix
Partial upgrades are unsupported on Arch Linux.
Huh, I’ve done it a couple of times with no issue. Updated the above comment to remove that recommendation, then.
Unsupported doesn’t mean it don’t work.
Iv done partial upgrades for years and never broken anything. But if something did break i would be entirely on my own to fix shit
Meanwhile, on debian (and derivatives):
Use the official build, but you are forced to update manually at each new update
Use the flatpak build, but can’t use screen sharing
Vesktop is the way.
Abandoning Discord-only friends and using almost anything else is the true way.
I recommend Revolt for the ones looking for alternatives
Revolt is a nice idea but it’s basically just a shit half baked idea that solves no problems and creates new ones.
Just use mumble.
Thank you for sharing this
What better alternative to Discord are we all recommending at the moment, by the way? I know “almost anything else except WhatsApp or Telegram” but what’s the simple three-word “use X instead” right now?
There aren’t any alternatives that are as good or feature-rich. If you’re willing to settle for less there’s Revolt that’s trying to be a 1-to-1 clone but is still in alpha, then there are apps based on Matrix which somehow makes using a chat app 10x harder.
Revolt is just a dead project walking. It solves nothing and recreates most of the same problems discord has by following the same journey.
Mumble is just the better option if you just need voice. And matrix if you need an all in one solution.
Hell if you don’t want to go self hosted. team speak is a better discord alterative then revolt by a very very large margin L
Team speak has been doing crazy work the last few years.
What problems does discord have?
I love Revolt’s customization though. I love it when software does that. I’d use it right now if I could get my budgie’s out of the chord.
Mumble is self hosted and works great for voice and text chat. There’s also IRC. It’s almost as old as the internet, but it runs on anything.
I usually manually install it with the tarball and I have auto updates turned off
I haven’t used native discord client in years. Ferdium 4evar
Never had any issues with Discord flatpak
