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.

It works but they won’t provide support if it breaks. There was a bug with screen sharing sound on Linux (and maybe macOS as well?) for a LONG time, like years, before it was eventually fixed.

On macOS they also took their sweet ass time with the Apple Silicon version, when the regular version was broken as hell on the shiny new M1 Macs.

They only really care about « gAmERs » which to then means Windows.

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

Last time I checked it was. I don’t know if a new bug was introduced since however.
