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.

I face a problem where using mouse button for going back registers twice. Any help how to fix or workaround this? I'm on Manjaro 21.0 Ornara KDE Plasma.

Is anyone having trouble installing betterdiscord once it updates to the newest version? I'm getting a "your discord installation has continuously failed to update and is now very out of date" warning from discord if I try to do betterdiscordctl install. Does anyone know a solution for this?

Same problem as @ibrokemypie and @shket, the standalone package works fine but as soon as I try to install betterdiscord, I get an error message about my installation being "way out of date."

Fails with electron12-bin v12.0.1-1 with the following error: libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null). I have the libva libva-mesa-driver and 32 bit variants installed.

UPDATE
Confirmed working with electron12-bin v12.0.1-1 with version 0.0.14-1.

electron-beta-bin switched to version 13. Discord should still work well with version 12, e.g., electron12-bin

it seems this no longer works on latest release of electron-beta-bin (13.0.0.beta.3-1)

steen commented on 2021-03-09 02:22 (UTC)

This installs fine on aarch4, no reason to force x86_64 architecture

i have the same problem as @ibrokemypie. with betterdiscord this discord offers to download update from the website and don't start as well.

ibrokemypie commented on 2021-02-26 06:21 (UTC)

betterdiscord seems to break discord since the electron10 to electron change for me

r00tman commented on 2021-02-26 01:06 (UTC)

Thank you for the package!

BTW, with electron-beta-bin (electron 12) instead of electron10, Discord finally runs natively on Wayland!

In /usr/bin/discord, I just replaced electron10 with electron-beta and added these arguments: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-gpu. IDK whether screen sharing/calls actually work, but other than that it works great.
