# Description #                                                                      #

# This script was created to automate the install of discord on your system.         #
# It installs it separately from a package manager (snap, apt, dnf, etc), so this    #
# can be used to install it on any linux system regardless of distro                 #
# as long as the OS & processor supports it.                                         #
#                                                                                    #
# This script was originally just setup to handle installing or updating the         #
# existing installation. It can be setup in crontab to handle it automatically so    #
# you never have to manually do it again. All you have to do is add it to your       #
# crontab to run daily or hourly (assuming you have a cron service installed)        #
#                                                                                    #

# Eventually I am wanting this script to also provide additional functionalities:    #
# - Install BetterDiscord                                                            #
# - Handle multiple installations of discord (makes named config directories         #
#   and will symlink them based on what "profile" you want to use). This will also   #
#   allow you to have a installation that contains mods and others without.          #
# - Handle manual configurations of discord (where applicable)                       #
#                                                                                    #
