The “latest and greatest” release everywhereįor app developers snapping your Electron applications for Linux users means building one snap that works on all the major Linux distributions, with support for more distributions growing at the time. It also means that when the software vendors make them available, it’s easier to access the beta version of their app or even daily builds. So why does it make sense to have Discord packaged as a snap? Snaps mean simple installation and update management with no need to worry about dependencies. Just like Skype they package their application using Electron, the web framework to build cross-platform applications. Just like them, they use webRTC to do voice or video communication. But Discord’s approach on the client is not too dissimilar to what you would find on Google Hangout or Skype. In particular they get their backend to work hard to make the load on the clients as light as possible.
Just like the user growth has been amazing, the technology behind Discord is rather exciting. To install Discord as a snap: sudo apt install snapd-xdg-open But Discord can also be used as a VoIP replacement and has been praised for the crystal clear quality of its audio calls. Adoption has been wild, from streaming to a Twitch account to voice calls to sync up on gaming tactics. Within 1.5 years of its launch Discord has become an almost mandatory tool for gamers.

Spotify works fine but it’s not the same for discord.ĭiscord does not have a repository and we have to download and install the corresponding package (.deb for me). I created a non-free template to install spotify, discord and some other stuffs.
