Maybe I should write down the motivation for creating yet another Discord AUR package:

  • This package uses a better/correct naming scheme that is also recommended by the Arch package guidelines (also underscores are just ugly)
  • Launch script uses additional options to enable gpu acceleration that is badly needed for a smooth user experience (in my opinion)
  • Use of Electron 13 that is the last version that doesn't make Discord crash when viewing a video feed (camera or screen share). Electron 15 (and 16-19 with a patch) also worked in my experience but crashes on receiving video feeds. If this issue can be resolved I will update the Electron version used by this package.

For streaming / sharing a screen on wayland I recommend using discord-screenaudio in tandem with this package.

Maintenance of this package is done in my Gitea repo.
