Chrome is the one I see all the freakin time on Linux .... sometimes it's once a week but it's more like every two weeks they completely update the entire software, get rid of the old and install a new version. It wouldn't be a big deal but if you've tweaked any changes with one version, they get wiped everytime which forces everyone to stick to the software and never change it ever at all.
For the record, I use Firefox and only keep Chrome if I need the browser for any reason ... like casting.
You clearly don't have Discord.
That shit has so incompetent devs that they're updating the fucking .deb file instead of using the internal updater to push every update.
An entire update used to be something worthy, now it's all worthless.
That's all handled by Electron, which doesn't support the auto updater on Linux.
https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/auto-updater https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/1138
Though I don't know if discord uses this specifically or rolls their own. Discord seems to auto update just fine until it's time for a bootstrap update.
Ok but why so many bootstrap update when the most basic shit like "screen sharing with audio" is broken?
There's a secret json option to disable bootstrap updates. The flatpak turns this on.
