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 recently switched my main Linux laptop to Fedora and I have to say, it's probably the most stable and clean distro I've ever used.

Happy for you... but isn't this thread about Mint?

Is that a way to say "by the way I use fedora"? 😀

[-] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

No, it's a way to say that Mint has become bloated and not a great experience.

I just switched to Fedora from Mint, and was impressed.

Fedora is not stable but very well tested it seems.

And GNOME (the default, I guess?) Is also just really well tested

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.
