How to update discord on archlinux ?
Contents
I hate discord updates!, they do lots of updates which prevents discord desktop from launching.
Bad for me that I use Archlinux, as discord ships thier updates as .deb
.
So how to manually update discord without waiting for the package maintainer to update it for you ?
Cheating way
This method allows you to trick the Discord into thinking it’s been updated. First, check for the path of the discord executable

Then edit the resources/build_info.json
in that path.
