Good morning, I'm having trouble with getting Discord to open on my deck. There aren't any updates available, but when I go to open it, it just spins and doesn't load. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but still nothing. What next?

This is on both desktop mode and in gaming mode.

Tbh, you're in for more hassles when you get it to start. I keep having trouble getting voice to work right. Enough so that I don't even waste time trying any more, I just use a different device for discord voice while playing on the deck.

There's some weird shit going on with microphones in specific, be it wired or Bluetooth headsets. I can hear fine, but not be heard. I know I'm not the only person it happens to, but it isn't everyone, so maybe you'll be fine.

As far as it loading in the first place, if you're installing from the package manager app, it should be working. It was for me last week, maybe week before; that's the last time I tried. I'm not able to crack my deck out currently, but I'll check and see when I can and try to remember to come back if I run into problems and leave a separate comment.
