It seems Ive installed it through the official repositories:

$ pacman -Qm | grep "discord\|Discord"
// EMPTY OUTPUT

Ill get back to you about the drive checks, either tomorrow evening or the day after. Ive got a technical assessment for a job position tomorrow so I'll have to look into that issue after that. :)

    As I mentioned replying to @just_another_person@lemmy.world, my root partition is on an NVME which is not even 3 years old yet, and I have not had any other problems with it apart from discord, so I don't think its a drive failure issue, but better safe rather than sorry, so if you'd be so kind as to let me know how you'd like me to test/verify its health I'd appreciate it :)

    Is it possible that the read-only error occurs because the directory its trying to write to doesn't exist (/opt/discord/resources/app.asar/node_modules/electron-log/src/core/ doesnt exist)? It may be a stupid question but as I said I've no idea how node works so consider me as having the intelligence of a rock when it comes to it

    As for the drive, my root partition is on an NVME drive which should be fine considering its not even 3 years old.

    What info does this give you? As someone more experienced, what jumps out at you when looking at this (trying to improve my knowledge while troubleshooting - 2 for the price of 1 xD)

    Ill steal some suggestions I liked from other commenters and add my own.

    • Draw a picture
    • Write a letter to someone
    • Find home on the map and calculate distances to school, grandparents, friends, etc
    • Make a simple song
    • Design something simple using CAD software (you'd need to find something really simple to learn/use. Someone suggested a program that I assume allows you to design minecraft buildings external to minecraft)

    And most importantly for me:

    • Research one or several topics. Youd need to do the research yourself beforehand, as well as pick topics you know align roughly with your child's areas of interest, but if they gain the skill of looking up information for themselves and finding the answer, pretty much anything is within their grasp IMO. Maybe set this as the first one so they can apply it for whatever further challenges you set them (extreme example but e.g. "How to create dog in blender" if you set them the task of using blender to design something). On that note, maybe set 2 distinct types of research topics - such as technical tasks and information tasks. What I mean is: "how do i install x, y, z program and use it" would be a technical task in my opinion, whereas something like "why are farmers legally forbidden from replanting seeds from their crops" would be an information task.

    Best of luck!

    What am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts, or what am i confident i can explain in-depth using facts AND have the other person understand and change their view/opinion on? Two different scenarios
