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.

      Fedora is not stable but very well tested it seems.

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

      Happy for you… but isn’t this thread about Mint?

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

        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.
