i’m sorry if this isn’t linux related but recently i’ve been struggling with some stuff, so i usually talk to my friends on matrix (used to actually!!), i decided to leave matrix and talk to them on email (because email always works and is a much calmer version of instant messenger i think so). but now i think i would like to go back to matrix, i can only choose one, sorry, please tell me which one… oh and i’d be using nheko of course because my debian-based xfce distro runs kind of slowly on my 2006 toshiba

    What do you want choose? An application? “Element” is a standard one and according to the webpage performance is a focus. I can’t say how well it works on your machine though. I don’t use Matrix anymore and the only way I used it was in the browser. So this list is more of pointing you in the right direction, rather than a personal recommendation.

      They already stated they’d use nheko.

      I understand they’re asking us to choose between email and matrix for them.

        I didn’t realize nheko is an application. It’s a bit a weird question to ask someone else to choose between email or an application. Howe can we decide this? The person knows best what works for them. And why can the person choose only one? It’s not exclusive technology, one can do both… I’m really confused.

          I agree it’s a bit weird for them to ask us to choose between email and matrix. They’d be better off deciding for themselves, best strangers on the internet can do is list pros/cons for them.
