tl;dr :

  • Hexchat IRC client app development stopped
  • Linux Mint team was building IRC client to replace Hexchat
  • The team tried Matrix and liked it
  • Linux Mint’s communication channels are moving from IRC to Matrix
  • The desktop app will be named Matrix to avoid confusion
  • Fonzie!@ttrpg.network

    I feel Mint doesn’t need a Matrix client, IPTV client etc. pre-installed, but luckily you can easily remove those unlike some other OS’s
