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.

@chrisalash This is a feature not supported by Discord on Linux in general. The only way currently to share the screen with sound (on Wayland/Pipewire only) is to use Vencord/Vesktop. In the past there also was discord-screenaudio but that package is deprecated now.

How can I get screenshare with sound working?

@brianc @DodoGTA they probably broke window decoration. Here, at least on compositors that implement server side decoration, Discord official client uses SSD, not client side decoration.

@brianc I can't reproduce the issue with KWin Wayland (so it might be some GNOME-specific bug)

@brianc I think the official client updated to electron 31, so probably want to use that for now.

It looks like the move to electron32 breaks the ability to resize the window in Gnome/Wayland. I don't know if it's broken elsewhere; but, it's definitely the case on multiple machines for me.

Confirmed working electron31 by modifying the PKGBUILD

Getting a weird error occasionally, some "Write EIO error". Accidentally closed it, will try to get logs soon.

SunRed commented on 2024-07-15 20:16 (UTC)

In the future instead of downgrading the package you can also just remove the modules directory in ~/.config/discord/ that is now at the time of writing 0.0.60.
