From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just wish there was a FOSS version of Discord. I haven't looked too deeply into existing alternatives, but I have a feeling they all miss features Discord has and are just not as good.
[matrix] looks promising, but it isn't quite ready yet
matrix doesn't stand a chance, none of the discord features are there, and the protocol MRs are years old and dead or bike shedded to hell. wish it wasn't so
It is way too expensive/wasteful to run as both a client & a server by its architecture.
Depending on what you aim to do, Matrix works well enough. Reminds me a lot of Discord back in 2017 or so.
I think SimpleX is similar
