discord want’s to update but the package is already updated, so it gives me a link to the newest package BUT IS FOR UBUNTU!?!?!
go to
~/.config/discord/settings.json
And change “SKIP_HOST_UPDATE” to true
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.
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 ecosystem
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.
I use Vencord anyway
