For most of the time Discord behaves normal but sometimes it hangs my entire PC and It’s lag that much that I can’t even login in terminal mode ( CTRL ALT F2). I was able to log in once and using htop command I saw pulseaudio and discord processes eating my entire cpu with discord (pulseaudio more). What happened and how to solve it?
Specs if its important:

hello t0ssox,
is it the same if you open Discord in the browser?
No. I don’t have any problems when I’m using discord in browser (In brave browser which is based on chromium, discord is a electron app so its based on chromium too)
Same Problem here using XFCE. Since discord is proprietary, i have no idea how to fix this. I guess hardware acceleration is not working (correctly).
Disabling hardware acceleration in Discord didn’t help I think. Maybe there is no more frequent crashes like before disabling or its only a placebo.
I’ve read of a few people having trouble with the discord app apparently the snap and flatpak versions are giving less issues
Thanks. My son’s been complaining about exactly this problem with Discord installed from the AUR. I can certainly try either the snap or the flatpak version to see if it makes a difference. Hadn’t thought of that!
Or you could try an alternative client like lightcord. Bear in mind though that this is disliked by discord, but gives the best chance of having a different result.
I will give it a try, hope voice chat works also since it says on the page:
This is a complete Discord Client. That means it has his own .exe and does not require the original Discord, plus it can’t break when there’s a new update.
Holy $*&^ I thought I was one of the only people experiencing this issue. Like Megavolt, I’m using XFCE and this morning at work, I tried (twice) to run Discord and everytime it brought my workstation to a grinding halt; Spotify stopped playing music, Chromium froze, etc. Here’s the output from “inxi -b” for me:

Despite the uptime, everytime runs fluid. So it’s no an uptime issue (at least for me). Like I said, everything runs liquid smooth. It’s only when I launch Discord and (what’s his name) Claude (?) (The Discord icon’s name) does his spinning that the entire machine just comes grinding to a halt. I’m half tempted to run fiddler and see what the hell it’s doing but I’ve debugged so many other developers stuff (gaming at home) lately, that I just don’t have the energy to try to debug yet another other-developer thing.
EDIT 1 (12/18/2020 8:44:11 AM ET): Formatting
EDIT 2 (12/18/2020 8:45:24 AM ET): Just tried to run Discord again (third time this morning), and it actually came right up… No idea wtf it was doing before, but it seems fine now shrugs
