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.

as far as I remember I could always double click the .deb and the GUI would let me install it, pretty handy. Aaand it stopped working some time ago. I'm not using ubuntu outside of work and there's not much system package installing in work environments so I'm out of touch now, but it was handy at the time.

The discord snap is basically unusable for me so that's the only way I can have discord installed. I'll probably switch away from kubuntu next time if it inherited this problem.

There's the flatpak too, that's the version I use alongside webcord in arch.

Does that have auto updates? It's kind of annoying to download debs every week.

I'm not super well versed, I'm a Linux casual.

you can go into the command line and write "flatpak upgrade", but every time I open the discord app it apparently downloads something, idk if it's self updating correctly or not.

I'll see if I can enable it in Discover and run updates through that. Thanks for the tip.
