I'm curious: what's annoying about IRC that Matrix fixes?<br>
<br>

<br>
What open source Matrix client(s) do you recommend?<br>
aptitude search matrix on Ubuntu finds a lot of libraries<br>
but I'm not seeing anything that looks like a client, and none<br>
of the clients listed on <a href="https://matrix.org/clients/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://matrix.org/clients/</a> seem to<br>
be available in the ubuntu repos. I'm game to try it if you<br>
can recommend a client.<br>
<br>
I gather that bridging between Matrix and IRC is supposed to be<br>
easy, though? So maybe we could have an IRC bridge, which would<br>
then give everyone a big choice of IRC clients.<br>
