Linux Mint 22 Will Include Web App for Matrix

Linux Mint 22 will include a Matrix web client preinstalled when released later this year. The IRC-based desktop chat app Linux Mint has been building, Jargonaut, to replace Hexchat and provide real-time communication for its users, will no longer be included (the status of any future development uncertain). Why the change? “Jargonaut works. It works well and does exactly what we want. Its implementation was relatively easy and I’d say it’s now 75% complete,” Linux Mint project lead Clément Lefèbvre says. But nots that “feedback about Matrix” led to the team testing it, liking it, and deciding to adopt it
