	=== Notifications ~~causing crashes~~ ===		=== Notifications-related crash ===
	Discord will crash if there is no compatible notification daemon running. This issue is only prevalent in custom desktop environments, such as [[Sway]] or [[Hyprland]]. Comprehensive documentation usually exists for most window managers/compositors and can be found on their respective wikis. Nixpkgs provides a few standalone notification daemons such as <code>pkgs.dunst</code> and <code>pkgs.mako</code>. You may optionally use a notification daemon from a larger DE, such as <code>pkgs.lxqt.lxqt-notificationd</code>, however it is unclear how effective these will be outside of their normal environment.

	Occasionally, Discord's code can become corrupted, causing it to crash on start-up. You can force it to re-download the latest version by deleting the <code>~/.config/discord/1.0.138</code>directory, where <code>1.0.138</code> is replaced with Discord's current version number (the second line of output when running <code>discord</code> from a terminal).
