i tried it, it did everything but it doesn't appear in the app list?
edit: i found out that the discord.desktop file is broken for some reason
@Raouferman
It's old, probably the format of discord.desktop need be change.
I can't test this because I'm not using Linux anymore.
If you know more things from linux you can create or get other "application" .desktop and change to see if works.
Good luck, and let me know if you have success.
I installed it this way in opt
bash script here
#!/bin/bash
cd ~/Downloads
# Replace discord-x.x.x.tar.gz with your Discord downloaded version
sudo tar -xvzf discord-x.x.x.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo ln -sf /opt/Discord/Discord /usr/bin/Discord
sudo nano /opt/Discord/discord.desktop
sudo cp -r /opt/Discord/discord.desktop /usr/share/applications
Why the canary branch? Most people use the regular stable release
what is the command to run it?
make sure it has execution permissions first then cd into the directory where the .sh file is located through the terminal and then do sh ./script-name.sh and it will execute the script
I used that on that time by some reason I don't remember anymore.
