no matter what I do, trying to run Discord with Ozone (for wayland) results in a crash
I have this same problem on a machine with an AMD card. Interestingly though I'm able to run Discord under Wayland just fine on my laptop that uses integrated Intel graphics. It's been this way for months now, and it's the same for the element-desktop package.

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

: this works likeelectron-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

.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.
