How To Install Discord on Linux Mint 20

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Discord on Linux Mint 20. For those of you who didn’t know, Discord is a text and voice chat tool that is used to talk with different people who might be playing the same game. It’s a famous chat program for gamers.
