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.

Automattic has added Beeper to their project roster that includes Wordpress, WooCommerce, Penpot and more.

As an open source project based on Matrix, with packages available for Linux... I think this ensures the future for a viable messaging app on our platform of choice.

This will further augment the use of Matrix, which may not be the best protocol for the job as others have commented in the past, but it's better than proprietary alternatives, and a great starting point.
