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.

Cool stuff. I didn't even know about NeoChat.
I knew neochat existed but wasn't able to use it as it didn't used to support end-to-end encryption, but I noticed recently that they've added support for it so I've switched. It's been great, I use matrix both at work and at home and I love being able to native implementation.
Definitely worth giving a try if you haven't already.
That's great to hear. Maybe I will finally ditch Element for a true native app :)
I really like these "for" pages KDE are making recently, for those who haven't seen they've also done:
I think they do a good job of showcasing some really awesome software KDE have.
Man these showcases are great. They give you a quick overwiew of the available software and are managing to keep it focussed on particular use cases. Probably the best introduction to Linux software I've seen so far.
these are great, wish they were included in the plasma desktop introduction
