That would be huge and would make me and my friends switch from mumble/discord to matrix. However, i fear that high latency may be an issue.

Fennec, maybe?

For me, the benefit of discord is not the text chat but the voice aspect. With push to talk/voice activated transmission and low latency for gaming.

The voice features of matrix are more of a conference call thing.

Until this gets implemented in matrix (not sure if ever) I’ll continue hosting mumble (or TeamSpeak)

Exactly what I was thinking…

You can do a disk benchmark on the server to be sure

Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.

Yes your Matrix homeserver does have to run the bridges. So I agree with you - you have to somewhat trust the admins of your Homeserver, or host your own homeserver and bridges. But I understand that the latter is not for everyone.

Which funnily enough, has bridges to Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram and some more, meaning you wouldn’t have to have as many other clients installed to chat with contacts on those platforms

Because it’s one thing to cruise along with a ship and just unspool some cable into the water but a whole other thing to dig hundreds of miles of trenches deep under water.

Man, can’t wait to never see these fixes on my 4 year old phone…

Also look at the memory of you haven’t already - run memtest

Runs great on my old-ish Galaxy S10 !

Frell yeah!

Knowing where the Netherlands begins?

Taxidermied looking motherfucker

have you tried the builtin “winget” as alternative to chocolatey?

check out “conversations” its free on f-fdroid and paid in the play store (although from time to time its free there, also)

thank you! more up-to-date packages sound good to me, will have to check out mint, then.

how would you compare Mint to MX Linux? Whats the biggest difference in your opinion?

When selecting a distro to mess around with, i just checked distrowatch to find the most popular distro and chose that (MX). My reasoning was that the resources like wiki/tutorials/forum posts would be most easily available with a more “popular” distro.
