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.

matrix, or at least interop standards for online communications. It's such bullshit that you make a shitty chat app, and just because it's free and relatively featured, become the single existing monopoly of chat applications.
Like idgaf as long as i can host a bridge between discord and matrix or some shit, and you technically can, but it's a right pain in the ass to do so.
Yup. Way too many people using different chat apps. I've bridged most of them but still annoying.
For business email is thankfully still pretty common. But some of them try to push you to one of the Facebook messengers.
I want an open widely used chat app ASAP.
and even with email, that's still open. So not a huge concern, or at the very least standardized enough to make it easily interop.
But yeah, i would greatly appreciate anything that isn't fucking discord.
