From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SimpleX. No federated messenger is good for privacy.
But I see how SimpleX is impossible for public groups, as spam is basically unavoidable.
SimpleX was nice when I used it for small chats, but how is it with large groups? Matrix really drags ass with large rooms, even on native clients.
Never tried that. For sure it lacks spaces, threads, moderation, invite links, requests etc.
Correct me if I am wrong
Do you have a link? All I see in a quick internet search is about a crypto company
Simplex.chat
Does it support video calls?
Yes, also PiP now
