What problems does discord have?

Huh, I’ve done it a couple of times with no issue. Updated the above comment to remove that recommendation, then.

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.

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 It could tell you there are no updates when it’s just pacman being out of date.
