After a chat with @Zoddo and me just taking too long to come back to this, there should everything now be included that was in my old discord-electron package some migrated from (Krisp patcher, Wayland, autostart fix). Additionally I replaced the scrappy rizin patcher with a Python script someone from the nix community kindly made available.
Instead of checking against a checksum to know whether the Krisp binary was patched the script is run on every start of the client that results in slightly longer start times but has the advantage that we don't have to update the package if Discord ever silently updates the binary between client updates over their modules api.

Cheers

Starting with 0.0.26-1 (2023-03-31):
  • Switched back to the main electron package (electron22)
  • Watching cameras and streams is working again
Starting with 0.0.20-1 (2022-09-15):
  • Bumped electron16 to electron19 (I still have blocking issues with electron20)
  • Added support for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works like electron-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
Check the wiki.

The Discord UI is lagging
Try to add the flags recommended in the wiki in $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.

I had to change it back to electron19 to prevent segfault on start

mattj commented on 2023-03-31 21:26 (UTC)

If anybody else gets segfaults with the latest version (0.0.26-1) and version 22 of the electron package: I found removing my (previously required) Wayland flags from the .conf solved it.

Zoddo commented on 2023-03-31 17:15 (UTC)

While updating to 0.0.26, I switched back to the main electron package (Discord updated their own version to electron22). This also allowed me to remove a workaround around the modules path that was previously needed for electron17+.

This also fixed the crash while watching cameras and streams.

I'll see about setting up something to auto-update this package. However, I strongly encourage you to disable version checks to be able to start Discord even if the package isn't yet updated: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Discord_asks_for_an_update_not_yet_available_in_the_repository

For those waiting for the package to be updated, you can edit the PKGBUILD to the new version, 0.26.

https://dl.discordapp.net/apps/linux/0.0.26/discord-0.0.26.tar.gz

Also update the SHA512 entry to: 65477c2c033f30850a699706a6502ff4f4af8838185716d968d641fdab3033555139b04bf91a111a847aca14113e33ba6248d49ba317fd43cbacb099e974117b

Feel free to bump the Electron version while you are at it :P

This is a really bad package to allow out of date.

Is there a reason why the source package does not get updated automatically? - mathisbuilder

I will second this question, as the package is out-of-date again.

StarterX4 commented on 2023-03-12 18:19 (UTC)

Neither rolling back to Electron 16, nor using files from the comment 883680 fix the crashes when trying to watch one's stream. So annoying to switch to browser every time. Though Discord works with Electron 22, if no one noticed.

Thaodan commented on 2023-03-09 18:50 (UTC)

I tested DiscordCanary it does work now with the latest Electron.
