About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.
Matrix Manifesto We believe:
People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.
I got Discord installed on Ubuntu just fine, what doesn’t work about it?
On top of what the other guy said, it just doesn’t behave like a Linux app. It doesn’t respect the package manager, if there’s a new version but the package hasn’t been updated yet, the app just refuses to launch. Like the developers literally won’t even let you use the app if it’s not the current version.
It’s also a electron app, so it doesn’t respect the window manager either. It has to have it’s own special window decorations that don’t match, and when I used i3 (tiling window manager) it was very difficult to get it to work normally in my setup like every other app did with no effort.
Finally, it asks for super user access! Why in the name of unholy fuck is a userland app demanding administrative powers on my computer?
Funny you say that, I actually just noticed that today. I tried launching it and it refused to let me use it until I updated. It was super annoying.

Wait, this was fixed? I haven’t been bothering with screen sharing because I thought this was still an issue.
