This issue seems to be fixed with electron28.
Sadly we will have to wait until Discord updates their bootstrap code (they access require.main which isn't available anymore since electron switched their entry point to ESM in electron28). I tried to patch it, but they have too many references to require.main to do that easily.
I'll downgrade the package to electron26 for now.
@Zoddo: I'm on Wayland (here's a gdb backtrace: https://pastebin.com/ahJJRKem)
@DodoGTA: Interesting, I don't repro. Are you on X11 or Wayland? Do you have the exact error at hand?
It looks like Discord has to be downgraded to electron26 (27 crashes after some time with some ANGLE error and 28 doesn't work at all likely because of some ESM thing)
Sometimes it doesn't crash and I can successfully choose a window/screen, but it's loading forever.
Works for me on Wayland, but crashes when I try to screenshare (KDE Plasma 5, XDG-Desktop-Portal window opens for like a second and Discord crashes).
Screenshares work fine when I switch to electron22 in /bin/discord, even through xwaylandvideobridge.
@ItachiSan: Thanks for the reminder. I'm a bit blind currently as I don't use wayland on my machine, and I need to rebuild my test environment. I've reverted the package to electron24 for now, and will investigate once I can test on wayland again :)
@Zoddo & @Thaodan: I am following up my previous message regarding Wayland support.
Discord works with Electron 25 on XWayland but not Wayland. Discord works with Electron 24 on both XWayland and pure Wayland. I would suggest using Electron 24 for the time being. Let me know if you want anything for troubleshooting :)
Just wanted to come in and say thank you <3
This has solved the scrolling issues I've had for years and keeps forcing me to go back to Windows every now and then when I get fed up of it
@ItachiSan: Or the other way around the wrapper script discord-flags.conf is redundant if the flags apply to discord.

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works likeelectron-flags.conf, you can set in this file the command line flags you want to pass to electron when running Discord (there are some useful flags in the wiki, especially if you are experiencing lag in the Discord UI).FAQ
Discord requires an update, but this package isn't yet updated

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf.Krisp not working
This is an issue that will likely never be fixed for this package. The Krisp module checks if Discord binaries are signed by Discord, which is not the case with this package.
See this comment and this GitHub issue for more details and possibles workarounds.
