Replace the plain discord package on Linux with a Vencord-patched Discord managed declaratively via nixcord (Darwin keeps the plain package). Adds a quickCss block that hides the Nitro upsell UI and a NixOS hosts blocklist for Discord telemetry + common ad domains. The app is named 'nixcord' rather than 'discord' on purpose: an app whose name matches its package doesn't get its home module applied to NixOS hosts under nix-config-modules. Vencord plugin keys are left as a TODO to fill in after confirming the exact names from the in-app plugin list (an unknown key fails eval).

Replaces plain Discord on Linux with a Vencord-patched Discord managed declaratively via nixcord, to strip Nitro upsells / quest nags and cut telemetry.
Changes
nixcord(github:4evy/nixcord,nixpkgs.follows).nixcordapp (Vencord). Darwin keeps the plaindiscordpackage.quickCsshides the Nitro/boost upsell UI (CSS is version-proof — a bad selector no-ops instead of failing eval).networking.extraHostsblocklist for Discord telemetry + common ad/YouTube-embed ad domains.Notes / caveats
nixcord, notdiscord, on purpose. An app whose name matches its package (discord) does not get its home module applied to NixOS hosts under nix-config-modules (verified empirically — a differently-named app works). Documented inline.config.pluginsempty with a marked spot. After launching this once, confirm the exact keys (e.g.disableQuestButton,noDevtoolsWarning) from Vencord's plugin list and drop them in.Validation
