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.

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

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.

There is a bug that autostart script path is electron, not the discord.

The Electron 11 crash was fixed in Electron 11.2.2

Dennis commented on 2021-02-01 09:17 (UTC)

I am getting a segfault every time I try to screenshare in voicechats ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263181 ). Is anyone else experiencing that issue and/or has a solution/ideas?

johnnyapol commented on 2021-01-13 18:02 (UTC)

Update on the situation: This is a confirmed regression in electron11 (not a discord bug). I will bump back up to electron11 pending a release containing the resolution of https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/27303 .

johnnyapol commented on 2021-01-13 16:21 (UTC)

Hi everyone - thanks for the comments. I've gone ahead and (temporarily) bumped the electron down to electron10 in the repositories to work around this.

In case you upgraded and did not keep the old version around, check out the archive https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/e/electron/ download both 11.1.1 files. Then install with pacman -U /path/to/electron-11.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

NoXPhasma commented on 2021-01-13 10:18 (UTC)

@mvdan It is indeed electron 11.2.0 to blame. Downgrading to 11.1.1 fixed the crash.

mvdan commented on 2021-01-13 09:32 (UTC)

Adding to what others said. The upgrade of community/electron to 11.2.0-1 is most likely to blame.
