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.

Thank you so much for this. Combined with electron-ozone Discord is working better than it ever has on any platform for me!

IS it possible to get other electron apps running this way? Would love it for lbry in particular.

Thanks for making this! For some reason, the regular Discord package is very laggy for me. This performs way better.

Hey @codicodi, version discord_arch_electron-0.1.12-3 has that now. Thanks for the suggestion!

codicodi commented on 2020-10-22 12:00 (UTC)

It would be nice if the shell wrapper (/usr/bin/discord) had an exec electron .... The way it is now, shell process stays up for no reason until discord is closed.

The day when this package shine has come :)
Because Electron included in the official client doesn't work anymore.

Kodehawa commented on 2020-10-21 19:17 (UTC)

I agree with @aviallon in regards to the unconventional name. I think discord-system-electron-bin or discord-electron-bin will fit better :)

aviallon commented on 2020-10-13 11:35 (UTC)

Nice package! However, I think that the package name is a bit weird and doesn't follow conventional package naming. I think you should rename it to discord-electron, as there it is already used by some packages, and you do not need to remind AUR users that this is an Arch package. This is just my two cents, but I do think it would make more sense.

PS: For renaming a package, ask a TU.

Hi EggheadCammy, update has been pushed. EDIT: Please use 0.0.12-2. The sha512 fails in 0.0.12-1

EggheadCammy commented on 2020-09-10 20:11 (UTC)

Please update PKGBUILD to support 0.0.12
