I was about to complain about your desktop Electron app but it seems that spectral[0] is already usable without any hassle (build from source, ...) at least on Fedora, time to reactivate my Matrix account, keep up with the great work

There's also Fractal[0] which uses GTK+ instead of Qt, and is maintained by the Gnome foundation and planned to be used by the Librem 5 AFAIK.

Unfortunately, can't find it in the Fedora's repo


I know it isn't ideal, but Fractal is available through Flatpak and Snap


Alternatively Mirage[0] - Qt + Python. There is really a lot to choose from with Matrix. The beauty of open protocol.

Seems like on Fedora the only mirage available is Mirage the image viewer

http://mirageiv.sourceforge.net/


You can install the other Mirage on Fedora by following the instruction in the Github link...


But unfortunately these alternatives don't have the same encryption support, do they? (Some seem not to have any.)


https://blog.riot.im/e2e-encryption-by-default-cross-signing... has a list of E2E-capable clients. For instance, Mirage, mentioned as an alternative here, has full E2EE support (but no cross-signing yet, given it's brand new).
