Boosting Performance: Why Linux Users Are Switching to ArmCord

Written by

To install and set up ArmCord on a Raspberry Pi, you need to use a dedicated ARM-compatible installation method because the official Discord Linux app only supports x86 computer architectures. ArmCord is a specialized, lightweight, third-party Discord client that natively supports the ARM processor inside the Raspberry Pi. It blocks standard Discord trackers and can be integrated with mods like Vencord.

The most straightforward methods to install ArmCord are by using the official APT repository or the community-favorite Pi-Apps App Store. Method 1: Install via Official APT Repository (Recommended)

This approach adds the official ArmCord package lists to your system, which allows you to receive automatic updates alongside your system upgrades.

Update system packages: Open your terminal and synchronize your package index. sudo apt update Use code with caution.

Download the GPG key: Securely add the official repository key to your trusted keyrings.

curl -fsSL https://apt.armcord.app/public.gpg | sudo gpg –dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/armcord.gpg Use code with caution.

Add the repository: Register the ArmCord repository to your source lists.

echo “deb [arch=$(dpkg –print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/armcord.gpg] https://apt.armcord.app/ stable main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armcord.list Use code with caution.

Install the application: Update your sources one last time and complete the installation. sudo apt update && sudo apt install armcord Use code with caution. Method 2: Install via Pi-Apps (GUI Method)

If you prefer using a graphical interface, you can install ArmCord directly from the Pi-Apps Store.
