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.

tl;dr :

Hexchat IRC client app development stopped
Linux Mint team was building IRC client to replace Hexchat
The team tried Matrix and liked it
Linux Mint’s communication channels are moving from IRC to Matrix
The desktop app will be named Matrix to avoid confusion

I found it to be very buggy, usually had UI rendering issues

[–] barbara@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And I was hoping they fork fractal such that they can both profit from each other

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Even better 😄
