Can Discord work on Nvidia + Wayland?
ridge Oct 12, 2021
Long story made short, trying to run Discord (and other Electron apps) on Manjaro Testing + Plasma Wayland + GTX 1060, however all my Electron apps appear with blank window contents.

I have read the Electron section on the Arch Wiki's Wayland page, and applied the relevant config (~/.config/electron-flags.conf)
Saving this config and symlinking this file to older Electron versions makes "electron", "electron13" etc. GUIs appear correctly, which they previously did not without the config.

However, Discord, Signal and Tutanota do not draw correctly! Has anyone been able to fix this?



I'd rather not use discord_arch_electron, as I can't get notification settings in Plasma to work correctly with it (notifications appear as notifications from Electron, and I can't configure them to my liking because "Electron" does not appear in the Plasma notifications apps list)

Thanks as always folks!

Try to use:
 
$ discord --use-gl=desktop

I have no clue why, but it works for me

HUH!

So it does! In fact, this works for ALL my Electron applications! You fixed EVERYTHING.

I have been searching. For so long. On so many websites. With so many search terms. And nobody has ever figured this out except you, bravo, THANK you!
