anyway if you are having this problem on arch, go here
Discord is where information goes to die
Yeah Discord has been wacky on Linux lately, they pushed maybe 4 different updates the past week that forced you to update the package immediately.
Pro tip: Sync the package manager database before trying to update. It could tell you there are no updates when it’s just pacman being out of date.
Partial upgrades are unsupported on Arch Linux.
Huh, I’ve done it a couple of times with no issue. Updated the above comment to remove that recommendation, then.
Unsupported doesn’t mean it don’t work.
Iv done partial upgrades for years and never broken anything. But if something did break i would be entirely on my own to fix shit
What better alternative to Discord are we all recommending at the moment, by the way? I know “almost anything else except WhatsApp or Telegram” but what’s the simple three-word “use X instead” right now?
Mumble is self hosted and works great for voice and text chat. There’s also IRC. It’s almost as old as the internet, but it runs on anything.
You can use XMPP , instead of IRC, if you want more features.
Jabber, Mumble and vbulletin was the core software for my gaming group. Discord just made it so the end-user only had to install one app instead of two and a browser bookmark.
It only costs all of your privacy and, now, $10/mo
There aren’t any alternatives that are as good or feature-rich. If you’re willing to settle for less there’s Revolt that’s trying to be a 1-to-1 clone but is still in alpha, then there are apps based on Matrix which somehow makes using a chat app 10x harder.
Revolt is just a dead project walking. It solves nothing and recreates most of the same problems discord has by following the same journey.
Mumble is just the better option if you just need voice. And matrix if you need an all in one solution.
Hell if you don’t want to go self hosted. team speak is a better discord alterative then revolt by a very very large margin L
Team speak has been doing crazy work the last few years.
Today my Windows work machine would randomly lose mouse pointer use on file explorer. Nothing was selectable other than resizing the window or killing the window. Relaunching explorer would fix it for about half hour.
Also Setting Teams times for meetings etc, shows the list of times but when you go to click on them the dialog disappears.
Linux is way more stable than W11
yeah this aint a linux hate meme, i’m just goofing about the discord nonsense this week
I mean its true both ways :)
Vesktop is the way.
Abandoning Discord-only friends and using almost anything else is the true way.
