GUIDE: Connecting Flatpak Apps to the native Vesktop's Discord Rich Presence integration

[Arcitec]

These are the required steps for Discord Rich Presence when Vesktop is running natively (not in a Flatpak), when you want to integrate various Flatpak-based applications that have built-in Discord RPC status support. These instructions are true for all other natively installed Discord clients too (including the official client).

• Enable "Activity Privacy: Share your detected activities with others" in Discord.
• Ensure that Discord RPC is enabled in your chat client. The official Discord client always provides it, whereas Vesktop for example has it under "Vesktop Settings: Enable Rich Presence via arRPC".
• If you are using a native Discord client when running Flatpak-based RPC apps (such as Heroic), then you must install the discord-flatpak-rpc-bridge, to create a bridge between the Flatpak Discord RPC socket and your native Discord RPC socket. That project has a detailed description about why the Flatpak sandboxing makes that necessary, and why there will never be any other solutions.

There's no Wiki, so I am adding the information as a ticket. Update: And on arRPC to benefit other arRPC-based third-party clients.

Actually, maybe I should leave this open if you want to add the information to the Readme or another documentation location.
