About dvm

dvm is an open-source Discord version manager for Linux. It downloads and extracts Discord release types (stable, ptb, canary, and development) into $HOME/.dvm, creates an executable bin file, and copies desktop entries and icons. Users can install, update, remove, list, and run versions, and can install Open Asar or generate shell completions. The README says the author does not focus on maintenance anymore but will try to help. Compiling from source requires Rust Nightly; the precompiled binary is not statically compiled and may need missing libraries installed.
