The "matrix" link is not hosted on the opensuse wiki, it is on https://matrix.to/#/+opensuse:matrix.org and I don't understand what it is about. There is no Linux tool to use it, only for IOS, so I don't really understand why we talk about it. You were probably searching for the wrong thing.
Well, I'm following the official information available at theopensuse.org site. I posted the full URLs, see above.
I don't blame you; the naming scheme isn't the greatest, but Matrix is actually a protocol, like IRC,
Ah.
and you can use many clients with it.
Huh?
I just meant that there are multiple clients vs. a single app.
It is designed to be a completely open source chat protocol that supports modern features like image sharing and a chat history. Additionally, it can bridge with many other protocols--it is how the openSUSE Discord server is connected to IRC, as I mentioned previously. The flagship client is called Element, and is available for all major OS's. There are of course other clients out there that you can try, but Element is generally considered the most feature complete.
Element is the only client mentioned at the official opensuse link, and when I opened the page at another computer it said the only system supported was IOS. "IOS & ". Ie, nothing after the "&". Now I see Android after the "&", on the line beneath it. Not very clear to read. No Linux client supported (nor Windows).
Very strange.
I followed the link, and I realize now that it says "for Web, iOS, and Android." I suppose this is technically true, since the desktop apps are built with Electron (as are Discord's, by the way.) Quite misleading, though. -- Daniel Stevenson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
