  Yeah, I’ll have to work on my explanation there as well.

  As I understand it, Matrix is a standard for doing Discord-like things (and other stuff as well, but never mind that), but it’s also an organization that hosts a service that follows that standard - you can make an account there, and use whatever client you like to join servers and do Discord-like things.

  But anyone could host such a service, or make such clients, so a big tech firm could never fully own Matrix - in the same way that they can never fully own email.

  Sound right?

  Matrix seems pretty mature, and has screen sharing with audio?

  Pretty sure no type setter or graphic designer would use Word for anything else than making Word templates.

  I don’t know that they want to, but as economic inequality increases it will happen. Without a middle class, there’s not much of a market for high-end gaming PCs

  My experience is that Linux Mint is the closest we have to a “it just works"-distro that is also decently up to date. Try that first.
