# Features
|
||
|
||
- **Standalone client**
|
||
|
||
Legcord is built as a standalone client and doesn't rely on the original Discord client in any way.
|
||
|
||
- **Various mods built-in**
|
||
|
||
Enjoy [Vencord](https://github.com/Vendicated/Vencord), [Equicord](https://github.com/Equicord/Equicord), [Shelter](https://github.com/uwu/shelter) and their many features, or have a more vanilla experience, it's your choice!
|
||
|
||
- **Themes**
|
||
|
||
Legcord natively supports theming of the entire app, you can easily import BetterDiscord themes and manage them
|
||
|
||
- **Made for Privacy™**
|
||
|
||
Legcord automatically blocks all of Discord's trackers; even without any client mods, you can feel safe and secure!
|
||
|
||
- **Supports Rich Presence**
|
||
|
||
Unlike other clients, Legcord supports rich presence (game activity) out of the box thanks to [arRPC](https://arrpc.openasar.dev).
|
||
|
||
- **Mobile support**
|
||
|
||
Legcord has **experimental** mobile support for phones running Linux such as the PinePhone. While this is still far from an ideal solution, we're slowly trying to improve it.
|
||
|
||
- **Much more stable**
|
||
|
||
Legcord is using a newer build of Electron than the stock Discord app. This means you can have a much more stable and secure experience, along with slightly better performance.
|
||
|
||
- **Cross-platform support!**
|
||
|
||
Legcord was originally created for AArch64 Linux devices since Discord doesn't support them. We soon decided to support every platform that [Electron supports](https://github.com/electron/electron#platform-support)!

### Debian, Ubuntu and Raspbian
|
||
|
||
#### Install via .deb from GitHub Releases
|
||
|
||
You can install Legcord directly using the `.deb` packages published on the GitHub Releases page.
|
||
|
||
1. Go to the Releases page: https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord/releases
|
||
2. Download the `.deb` that matches your architecture:
|
||
- `amd64` (most Intel/AMD 64‑bit PCs)
|
||
- `arm64` (AArch64, e.g. Raspberry Pi 4/5 64‑bit, ARM laptops)
|
||
3. Install the downloaded file (this resolves dependencies automatically):
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo apt install ./<downloaded-file>.deb
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you can copy the asset link from the release and install via terminal:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# Replace the URL below with the copied link to the .deb asset from the Releases page
|
||
wget -O legcord.deb "https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord/releases/download/<tag>/<asset>.deb"
|
||
sudo apt install legcord.deb
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If your system reports missing dependencies, you can also use this fallback:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo dpkg -i <downloaded-file>.deb || sudo apt -f install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
