For me its honestly a ton of my work software (digital forensics), shit is too niche to be replaced by good FOSS options. Cellebrite, Magnet Axiom, etc. Autopsy is great and free and has a linux version but it simply cannot get the same level of data without a pretty nutty level of custom code.

And the biggest side effect of this is FUCKING WINDOWS. God I would replace this nightmare OS in a heartbeat if the aforementioned work software would make linux compatible versions. We have legitimately wasted 10k hours dealing with windows bullshit that would not be a problem in linux. Though im sure linux would take a different 10k for its own problems.

What about you guys? Doesn’t have to be work related, thats just the thorn in my side right now.

      I’d be a little scared of showing my friends the matrix channel directory with how sus some of those channels are. I think that’s gonna be one of it’s biggest hindrance in being adopted by non-tech users, not even its UI or lack of features. Some of those channels are pretty bad.

      Yeah I would love a Discord alternative that I could actually convince my friends to use.

      At least there’s a matrix bridge for discord. You’re still connecting to discord from your matrix client, but at least you don’t have to install the discord client or access the website.
