  • It's used by a lot by organisations who want an alternative to Slack/Teams. Have a look at the client list for Element, arguably the biggest Matrix client/platform - https://element.io/

    And as someone else mentioned there's also a huge influx of IRC folks especially in the last year.

    Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica Review
  • Sounda great, but like all previous Fairphones there's no reason for the vast majority of the people on Earth to be interested in this because it's only available in Europe.

  • Using a mainstream distro like Ubuntu, along with Steam makes it fairly seemless - no struggling required.

    95% of my Steam library I can install and run without a second thought and the performance isn't noticeably different to Windows. Some non-Steam titles I use Lutris for, but that's only one or two extra steps.
