The Rust rewrite is done now, no?

Sure, if you want… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At first, I wrote “Element/Matrix” and decided to not be too pedantic… But if you want to be complete: the messaging protocol is, of course, Matrix. You could say there is actually no such thing as a Matrix server either, because it’s a protocol. The server must probably be Synapse-based, I guess. But there is an “Element-based server” in the sense that the web interface of Tchap (and phone apps) are very clearly forked from Element, which is what I meant.

Visio is based on LiveKit, which Element Call is also based on (as far as I understand). It lives outside of Tchap. The DINUM never mentioned it was based on Element Call. Do you have additional information? (Not that the difference matters much I think)

I guess. There must be a reason for them turning to something else than Jitsi given they already had that running (and the French service responsible for that, DINUM, is surprisingly extremely open-source friendly for a state service), but I don’t know which one.

Tchap is the Element-based server. Visio is a different thing. Although you can trigger Visio from Tchap (like you can do it with Jitsi from Element).

Actually, there’s also an official Jitsi server (called Webconf). And there’s another Big Blue Button one. I think Visio has features not available in Jitsi though, like AI-produced transcript of the call.

I have been using for more than 10 years. Again, I’m not saying it’s without bug, but every time I tried to go back to Thunderbird, I quickly realise I miss Kmail’s interface and great integration in Plasma.

Kmail has its quirks, but I actually find it quite nice to use, especially with multiple accounts because it distinguish explicitly between IMAP accounts, SMTP accounts and identities.

Integration with contacts and calendars is quite smooth as well. KDE PIM suite is well integrated in Plasma in general.

It is. Working great on Linux. The only pain is it has to be recompile from time to time (several months apart) on a rolling, but otherwise I had a great experience with it. It’s been recommended to me on this very community, so I’m sharing the tip!

You should look into Espanso. It was made for this kind of things, and many others you didn’t thought you need!

Basically, it replaces “triggers” input into strings, which can be set dynamically with short scripts.
