Discord launched from krunner, application menu, and desktop icon without problem on my system.
My first system where I'm experiencing the issue is my desktop - I've had this issue for several years, with the only common parts between installations being an X99 chipset (Asus X99-A board and 5820K CPU). I'm also experiencing it on a 2015 thinkpad X1 Carbon.
There is a similar report of an issue on this thread, with the same solution: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=239096.
Worth noting, Discord launches just fine when installed via either Snap or Flatpak. It's only the native installation that requires this fix.
~ $ which discord
/usr/bin/discord
```
The desktop file is: /usr/share/applications/discord.desktop
If launched from the terminal, it has the same issue unless I'm in /usr/bin/
