    Wtf. He downloaded discord.exe to show it works with a windows installer and then got linked to flathub and installed discord flatpak image. But still thinks he installed windows-version?

      I think he was trying to demonstrate for new users that it would redirect them to use the appropriate installer instead of relying on .exe files?

      Sadly no, according to their wiki:

      Mac computers with Apple silicon processors are not currently capable of running Zorin OS natively. However, you may be able to use an app called UTM to run Zorin OS in a virtual machine on Mac computers with Apple silicon processors.

        Running x86_64 emulation on an ARM CPU is a miserable experience and should be avoided. I’ve done this on an M-series Mac with UTM, and you’re looking at ~10-minute boot times just to get the VM booted, and ~3 minutes for it to render a response to whatever you click.

        It’s honestly wild that they seriously suggest doing this on their Wiki.
