Discord is an instant messaging and VoIP application with lots of functionality. It provides a web interface, though most users would prefer to use a client for interoperability with their system.

As opposed to just Vencord, the same developers also offer an integrated solution which aims to make the Linux experience better.

It can be neatly managed via [[Home Manager]], or just installed as a regular package via <code>pkgs.vesktop</code>.

=== Crash on start-up ===

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).

=== "Must be your lucky day" popup ===

Line 143:

Line 176:

After adding this to your Nix configuration and rebuilding, make sure Discord is completely closed, and then run:

<~~pre~~>$ krisp-patcher ~/.config/discord/0.0.76/modules/discord_krisp/discord_krisp.node</~~pre~~>

$ krisp-patcher ~/.config/discord/0.0.76/modules/discord_krisp/discord_krisp.node

</syntaxhighlight>

Once you restart Discord and join a VC, you should see a sound wave icon to the left of the hangup icon.
