The elements chat (formerly riot chat) for the matrix ecosystem and network, seems to be available via flatpak flathub according to imnsho: *always* utilize packages built specifically for your installed system. *only* use "flatpack/or ..." when there is absolutely no other available solution. use https://software.opensuse.org/search
I really must have missed these results, I did look for them :( Thanks for pointing it out: https://software.opensuse.org/package/matrix-element-web
How about the community provided packages on these repositories and in the opensuse universe, how strustworthy are these builds and compilations? Is there some safeguards against misuse and malicious codes compilation or such things in the build infrastructure of opensuse, or are there always multiple people guarding and owning these projects and packages or how does all this work? do I just trust this repository or project, oneclick install etc?
how safe are you walking across the street? that said, I use several "community" projects owned by individuals I trust. I use zypper and add repos. I do not use "oneclick", but manually dl and install. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
