So someone I know asked if anyone knew if there was a simple way to get Discord to automatically update on Linux. If you don’t know already, discord on Linux does not automatically update and prompts you to install a new .deb version or download the .tar.gz to update. This, admittedly, is quite annoying after the 4th or 5th time you update it.

I know Discord’s versioning is quite standard so I figured it would be an easy script to cook up. Since they already provide a .tar.gz, I decided that would be the simplest for the most machines and got to scripting.
