What’s the context behind this photo?

I haven’t heard of v3, I’ll have to check it out.

Depending on the group using it, you can apply for a Community plan to enable mobile push notifications. I do wish Zulip would use UnifiedPush or something like that, or even allow your own ntfy setup, but I’m placated by the Community plan.

Zulip paywalls mobile notifications, but you can apply for a Community subscription which is free, and includes mobile notifications.

IRC is too difficult for normal people to figure out. Normals don’t know how to /join, /nick, and all that other stuff. People want a username and password, because that’s a standard thing that everyone knows.

Even Matrix is too complicated for most people.

IRC serves a purpose, but judging by the success of Discord there’s obviously something lacking from IRC.

I guess I see your point, but at the same time I don’t.

Tiny yes, but IMO getting the attention of computer gamers needs to be the next step if a Linux flavor is going to become a household name.

Even if it’s “SteamOS” that becomes the household name instead of “Linux” that’s still good overall. Maybe it’ll turn into how people used to say they had “Droid” smartphones, not Android.

That’s a fair idea, I didn’t realize it was an option to share customized KDE setups but that definitely makes sense.

If it interests you, try it. If it doesn’t interest you, don’t install it.

Not all software projects need to be developed by teams of people with published release cycles. There are lots of passion projects out there.
