    Ubuntu user here. You can/could install .deb packages with the UI?

    TIL

      as far as I remember I could always double click the .deb and the GUI would let me install it, pretty handy. Aaand it stopped working some time ago. I’m not using ubuntu outside of work and there’s not much system package installing in work environments so I’m out of touch now, but it was handy at the time.

        The discord snap is basically unusable for me so that’s the only way I can have discord installed. I’ll probably switch away from kubuntu next time if it inherited this problem.

          There’s the flatpak too, that’s the version I use alongside webcord in arch.

            Does that have auto updates? It’s kind of annoying to download debs every week.

            I’m not super well versed, I’m a Linux casual.

              you can go into the command line and write “flatpak upgrade”, but every time I open the discord app it apparently downloads something, idk if it’s self updating correctly or not.
