    I don’t care about numbers. I care more about quality of conversations. I can easily chat with competent people who react in real time on Matrix servers. They helped me solve many problems and give useful information. Staying connected with them is nice.

    I don’t know what Discord is. I don’t need to chat with gamers. I just play games on Steam and PS5. That’s all I’m interested in.


  • No one answers the question. I have never used Discord, only Matrix and have the opposite question.

    Matrix is a chat protocol. The clients support chat with styling and sending media, post reactions or polls, telephony (voice and video) and can integrate many other features like video conferences. One feature that is also well known are protocol bridges. You can connect to other chat protocols (like IRC) and have one single client.






  • The only case where I’d use a virus scanner is when I’d host a file server for Windows systems.

    Btw, ClamAV is slow and generally awful. It has many false positives that you get spammed all the time. There are also cases where it doesn’t really find the virus (false negatives). It’s also buggy and it’s not a good sign for security product.

    I’d still recommend Linux, if you want to be safe. Windows has never been designed with security in mind. It’s not even a proper multiuser system.
