0.0.235 does not work. It relies on new build management software(?) that is not yet public. Once it is public, this package will be updated. In the meantime, stay on 0.0.99. You can do this by installing OpenAsar, a FOSS alternative to the Electron asar app currently used by Discord. It's smaller, improves performance, removes some tracking, adds customization, and also allows skipping otherwise required host updates. Alternatively, you can also add "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true to ~/.config/discorddevelopment/settings.json.

@TheArcadeBrony: I did not get an email for your comment, so I apologize for the /extremely/ late response. After testing on my own system, I've added the script to the package.

Could the wrapper script be updated? Here's a version that accounts for vaapi/ozone on wayland, though it has not been tested under wayland yet, since I don't have a wayland-capable machine.

Update: it has been tested on wayland, and appears to work.

#!/usr/bin/env sh
EXTRA_FLAGS="$@"

#Check if XDG_SESSION_TYPE is set
if [ -z "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" ]
then
  echo "XDG_SESSION_TYPE is not set, cannot apply extra flags"
elif [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" == "x11" ]
then
  EXTRA_FLAGS="--no-sandbox ${EXTRA_FLAGS}"
elif [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" == "wayland" ]
then
  EXTRA_FLAGS="--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder,WebrtcPipewireCapturer,UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland ${EXTRA_FLAGS}"
else
  echo "Unknown XDG_SESSION_TYPE: ${XDG_SESSION_TYPE}, cannot apply extra flags"
fi

echo "Passing extra electron flags: ${EXTRA_FLAGS}"
/opt/discord-development/DiscordDevelopment "${EXTRA_FLAGS}"

@Vaporeon: TIL. Thank you!

Arch packages need not provide themselves.

When I originally made it, I used a modified version of the discord-canary install script, which, at the time, provided discord. However, looking at their page, they've now changed it to provide discord-development, so I will do that.

Also, thanks for the out-of-date flag - for some reason, my client wasn't bugging me about the update as it normally does, so I was not aware.

shouldn't this provide discord-development and not discord? because right now, it conflicts with discord_arch_electron that actually provides discord

these can definitely coexist
