From https://software.opensuse.org/package/riot-web :
"riot-web
A glossy Matrix collaboration client for the web
Riot (formerly known as Vector) is a Matrix web client built using the Matrix React SDK."
I installed it from darix home, but:
man riot-web No manual entry for riot-web which riot-web which: no riot-web in (/opt/kde3/bin:/home/me/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/home/me/bin)
Search box in menu starter turns up nothing.
So I loaded https://riot.im/app/, but it invisibly claims:
"Sorry, your browser is not able to run Riot.
Riot uses many advanced browser features, some of which are not available or experimental in your current browser.
Please install Chrome, Firefox, or Safari for the best experience.
With your current browser, the look and feel of the application may be completely incorrect, and some or all features may not function. If you want to try it anyway you can continue, but you are on your own in terms of any issues you may encounter!"
I opened https://riot.im/ in another browser, but I don't see a connection between it and the installed riot-web package.
Google doesn't seem to want to provide a link to useful instructions for using riot-web.
What's the secret?
The riot app is an electron based web app anyway so its not much different from running it in your browser. There are several other clients you could try some of which are listed here https://matrix.org/clients/ tying it back to an openSUSE solution most openSUSE matrix channels are bridged to discord (as well as select irc channels) and thats how I tend to use them.
