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... it's on such a good path I can't complain. Adoption could be faster but it's alright.
I2p, although I have no idea if the lack of adoption has not a very good reason.
I second Matrix, though I've been waiting for e2ee direct p2p (the Dendrite project) do be worked on for a while. Having something like that, that's truly decentralized while secure and hiding metadata where possible, would be a dream.
Apparently dendrite is just on maintenance due to insufficient funds. It was what i set up on a test instance because it is lighter, etc. Go figure.
Conduit might be an option. It's still under development. It's also lightweight due to Rust (instead of Python as in Synapse).
Yeah I've been following that. It seemed at the time the project didn't implement nearly all the specs as dendrite which was still lagging synapse.
Might take another look though. I really did want to use it since it was written in rust. Seemed it should probably be more performant, everything else being equal.
I love i2p. I wish it had more adoption / was easier to use.
