Electron apps such as discord, that on ubuntu require a command line to update?

Only if you're using the flatpak, iirc. Snaps should update automatically and I'm pretty sure both Snaps and .debs can be updated through the Software GUI (i.e. right click > open with Software).

You can install and uninstall debs from the software GUI, but you can't update.

You update by installing the newer .deb...

It needs you to manually uninstall the old version first.
