bug#51696: Request: Adopt the unofficial GUIX community on Matrix

I was doing quick testing of other clients +- 7 months ago and decided to use element. I didn't do any additional testing after that. Is there any reason why should I check them?

I am not aware of any matrix's client that requires a large amount of processing resources to operate (excluding miitrix for Nintendo DS allegedly which is allegedly due to the used Infrastructure on the device).. would be a major problem for me if it did as my devices are optimized for battery life and tent to overheat on such use.

I assume that you want to make the argument that it requires more processing resources than IRC?
That is true by design as Matrix is doing E2EE which I found to be more resource efficient and usable in comparison to Hexchat with fishlim.

I'm curious; have you tried any Matrix client that do not require a
browser or need a large amount of system resources to operate?

OK, let's see.
