How do I close Discord in GNOME?

When I click X or use ALT+F4 to close Discord, the application disappears from the taskbar. But I'm still online, receiving messages and notifications in Ubuntu when new messages arrive.

So how do I actually close the application? I'd rather not have to use the terminal every time I want to close it. (Not bashing the terminal, but I feel I shouldn't have to use it for this)

Solution 1:

I don't know why nobody is aware this shortcut but here it is: Ctrl + q shuts Discord down.

Solution 2:

• Click on the Cog icon(⚙️) in Left bottom to open User Settings.

  

• Go to Linux Settings and disable "Minimise to Tray".

  

• Click on "X" to close the app.

• To check whether app is running or not, look for "Discord" in System Monitor, or open a terminal and run

  ps aux | grep discord
  

  The output will show that no Discord process running now.

Solution 3:

Discord stays open as a background application with a system tray icon. The "Ubuntu appindicators" extension which is responsible for showing these icons, fails to show many app icons, electron based apps especially.

You may install TopIcons Plus extension to show the icon for Discord.
