Matrix seems to be filling the role of discord for me. I’ve noticed element’s client is lighter on system resources then discord

Join matrix I’ve found it does everything I wanted from discord without its added bloat and memory useage

Another option if you wish to protect your whole network is to set up something like pi-hole or AdGuard. I recently set up pi-hole on our network. I’m shocked by the amount of blocked traffic coming from phones and windows machines. Don’t even get me started on the traffic from our smart tv.

I jumped from windows to Pop-os (Ubuntu based) after my windows boot dive failed. The switch was surprisingly trouble free for me. A few minor teething issues here and there but otherwise fine
