"Should?" No. Or at least not necessarily. That's a choice you'll have to make for yourself. If you use Flatpak a lot you may like having Discord be part of it as well. If you don't use Flatpak on your machine and are happy with downloading the occasional update (or waiting for your repository to update), you may not want to introduce it. It's up to you and your particular system. The article is mainly saying that if you do want to use the Flatpak version, it's now being officially maintained by the developers.
I typically use repositories, but I'm wondering if that would be more beneficial to since Discord is actually maintaining the Flatpak

I don't really like the whole monopoly going on, but maybe it'll be some kind of good. I mean, we've got Halo Infinite on Steam deck. Maybe it'll be a boon for Linux gaming in some indirect way. Maybe Activision and Blizzard games will come to Steam instead of needing another launcher.

Steam Deck compatibility with Starfield to be discussed "later down the road"

I'm hoping Proton works. Somehow I bet he's probably just hoping it works too, and is waiting for ProtonDB reports before he says anything. 🤞
