3rd party discord client?
(sh.itjust.works)
If this is "completely open source" and "doesn't rely on the original Discord client in any way" (from their front page) how can mods for the official client be compatible?
Oh wait, their faq clarifies things: it's an electron wrapper for the official web client, not a completely open source client that doesn't rely on the official one as they claim.
ArchWiki has a list: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Discord#Third-party_clients
Ripcord is really unique and it's still my favorite third party client. Abaddon might be worth trying. Unfortunately, most other third party clients are wrappers.
How the hell does arch wiki have so much stuff? It’s nuts!
Someone somewhere had a problem, wanted it solved, and wrote it down, probably.
Get enough stubborn "someone"s with their own problems to solve, and I guess eventually you'll end up with the Arch wiki lol
Ripcord has been pretty great, but it hasn't been updated in a long time.
yeah, i wonder why they stopped
here we go, looks interesting, ill try it out
tried out abaddon but it tells me it couldnt fetch the build number which increases chances of being flagged their github has one related issue with no solution
I've been using Webcord with substantial improvements from the native Discord app.
isnt webcord just a wrapper for the, well, web version?
Yeah think so but with extra privacy hardening features and especially useful Screensharing on Wayland! I don't know if there is an alternative to it for Screensharing on wayland
Well it works better than the native and I can't share screen on discord on the browser so it works for me.
The flatpak crashes for me since some time sadly. I'm just using a basic chromium browser and their (shitty) webapp
I use Discordo for work. It's pure CLI/TUI and it doesn't have all the features of Discord but I think that's the point.
Most of the "third party clients" being suggested here are wrappers for the official client. I use purple-discord. If you don't care about voice/video this works well enough.
Vencord is nice, not a 3rd party though
Vesktop
I tried vesktop two days ago, after using discord-screenaudio for over a year, and I'm in love with it. Check it out guys, it's really good.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
