Hi! Thought I knew what I'm doing with linux, now discord is crashing, can't remove because I can't login as root

Topic pretty much covers where I'm @.

cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION_ID="22.04"
VERSION="22.04.3 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)"
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian

I'd prefer another distro, however, for now, getting Discord to not crash immediately is the goal. Worked fine until the last update.
