please add support for 32 bit linux.
I simply can't understand why would anyone keep a chat program 64 bit only.
Seriously. It's already bad enough that Steam dropped x32 support.
Is it THAT hard to make the Linux version 32 bits so it can run on both 32 and 64? I understand that we're a very small part of the community (If I'm not the only one using 32 bit linux), but not everyone can afford a brand new computer, you know.

32 bit is limited in its abilities. It is on the way out. If you can't grasp that, then try this.
You are trying to run a Blu-Ray (Games/Apps), in a DVD player (32 bit system). Save some money and get a 64 bit system.

I too would like Discord for Linux i386.
I am not a gamer. I run Linux on hand-me-down computers. It performs very well on this old hardware. I have a former Windows-7 box that runs Ubuntu and works fine. Zoom and GoTo Meeting work just fine on that hardware. Office apps, web browsers, and email work fine.
My music school uses Discord for remote music lessons. Discord is the only app I want that I can't get.
Sven says "32-bit is on the way out. If you can't grasp that, then try this."
I am not trying to run a Blu-Ray game from floppy disk. I just want the communication app that my music school uses. I don't want to spend several hundred dollars on hot new iron just to run Discord. Sven says "save some money." I'm trying to.
Perhaps you're too busy to work on i386. But you need not show disdain for it. It works.

Just wanna add my voice and say: yes. I agree. I'm running Puppy Linux on a 2000's laptop because my surface pro 6 stop taking charge. I did scrimp and save to get it, and it broke in just over a year. Neither the store I bought it from (Best Buy) or Microsoft themselves will do anything at all to help me, so this is the situation I've been put in which is well beyond my control. Sure, upgrades are eventually necessary; but this is NOWHERE NEAR the case yet, at least not for something like discord. I understand there is a lot I don't know about computers and software development, and I'm not trying to speak to things I am ill informed on. I'm sure there's a lot of complications behind the scenes that I'm unaware of. That said, if someone can make DOOM run on an ATM, I think they could maybe figure this one out. I mean hell, it even runs in a web browser. I know they think a lot of people don't use this very specific platform, and they're absolutely right. But for people like myself, and anyone else who's been put in this situation, it's just kind of a kick in the nuts you don't need.
