Matrix is FOSS, Synapse (Matrix server) is FOSS, bridges are FOSS. The only thing stopping most people is a server that can run 24/7

You login to your account with the bridge, so the bridge can pretend to be you.

Half the people here are trying to de-google

You can set up bridges to link to your other messengers. Then you will only need Matrix to be able to reply to everyone.

You can always install them from Arch or AUR. I didn’t just merge all the Endeavour images into one to install them.

I setup my own matrix instance and ran a few bridges on it, so I don’t need WhatsApp thanks

My Endeavour OS has Plasma, GNOME, Xfce, bspwm and Hyprland on it. I haven’t really had any problem with them.

I can setup bridges, so I can communicate with any other messaging systems (whatsapp, discord) within matrix

This is a secret code!
