I'm running the latest LTS of Xubuntu on my machine with 4 GB of RAM.
Whenever I try to launch Discord, which I installed through the Snap Store, it freezes and either forces me to reboot or loops back to login.

Does this answer your question? Ubuntu gets stuck in a login loop – karel Mar 13 '21 at 14:28

What if you install the regular, non-snap discord? – HolyBlackCat Mar 13 '21 at 17:01

I had the same problem, with the .deb downloaded from discord. I had no such problems with 18.04.
My biggest clue was that vlc was also crashing the same way. Can you watch video using vlc? If you check your logs (/var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/log/kern.log) do you see anything about a gpu crash?
The solution for me was to edit /etc/default/grub and change the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
I'll let someone with more Ubuntu experience than me explain what that does. Apparently there's a bug in the latest video drivers for Intel GPUs.
