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.

Download Armcord instead 🙃
just so people are aware:
third party clients are against Discord's ToS. with that out of the way, looks really cool and I'll give it a try!
I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.
While I often prefer native packages, running occasional proprietary software is one of the best use cases for flatpaks. I'd never install something like discord with root privileges.
I just use Flatpak as much as possible even for FOSS unless it's not an option (e.g. VS Code).
The Linux community in a nutshell.
You could also cross over the last part and it would still fit right in.
