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.

Bug Report

The main discord packages allows using "Krisp" for noise suppression. This is available in the "Voice & Video" settings. This used to only be available on Windows but it works on Linux now.

With this package this option is not available.

@Vendicated @Theodan For what it's worth, this may be worth reworking into a PR for OpenAsar if either of you feel up for that! This seems like functionality they would not mind having.

Sukid commented on 2022-11-01 22:37 (UTC)

@Vendicated 's patch does make Discord see my monitors when I click screen share, but they're all completely black. (I also have to remove the EnableWebRTCPipewireCapture flag to get to that point)

@Build in a clean-chroot. Your system wasn't updated completely.

@Zoddo: Are you fine by adding @Vendicated's hack with a command line flag to activate?

Zoddo commented on 2022-10-29 20:32 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay everyone, I was out last week. Package updated to 0.0.21, and changes suggested by Thaodan implemented.

I haven't included the screenshare fix of Vendicated because it crashed Discord when there is a module update (thanks a lot for it though!) I'll try to work on it and publish a 0.0.21-2 if I can fix this issue.

@Zoddo: Would you like to add me as a maintainer for this package and/or include my patch? that I linked down below?
