I did it on the GUI all day yesterday! The only problem Debian has is being unbreakable!
Heck, I switched repos from bookworm to trixie and installed 3 GiB worth of packages - 2.5k packages - and booted into a PERFECTLY WORKING system!
Installed the other 8 GiB afterwards and booted into a perfectly working system. Just before I thought Steam was broken, I rebooted and it came alive too.
And my GTX 1650 worked right away! Do you know how many times the daily 1 GiB update on Ubuntu breaks that?!
Flatpak updates are kinda' slow, no 4 GiB downloads needed per day, Debian updates arrive at like 200 MiB a month except for apps like VSCode, Signal, or Discord. And - to be honest - that's the Windows-unlike experience every distro is missing.
I use Fluffychat. Element is more up-to-date with features, but I think I like the simplicity and feel of Fluffy. Both are available via F-droid at least. There probably are other methods. And yes, both have Linux desktop and developer-hosted web-apps.
FYI Matrix is not an app, but a protocol. Like how you can use different clients to connect to Lemm-Lemm, you can use different apps for Matrix, and not every app has all features. Heck, even the sync authentication systems (that allow you to export your messages to different devices) are different!
But then there's the fact that you have manage your decryption keys on your own!

I think Signal is better for video calls.
It's a bit less decentralized, but it's a lot simpler. A popular thing about Signal is that Edward Snowden talked about a Signal update in a congratulative tone of voice.
Have to be honest! My own Termux install is 7 GiB! Used to be 8 with Debby on it. Used to be 3 since after uninstalling Debian. I had also cleaned out files. Will have to see why it's 7 now.
Used to have a friend with a Fedora install that put Termux at 20 for them LOL.
Should use just Debian maybe, unless the Termux package is preferred. But having sudo is awesome!
Also I think I tried and uninstalled UserLAnd like two weeks ago because it wasn't as smooth as I expected, I think.
Not saying anything bad about you, I must reconsider because you said so!!!
I love this human. Not only did they post a nice answer towards my comment, they're actually settling what could turn into an internet argument from the get go!
I'm actually, genuinely shocked by the ageism in such debates every single time. There's no such thing as age-based incompetence, TBH. There are sound people for every field available everywhere. Why do we have to assume this? Every generation has at least a few people who are competent in their field, even in computing. It's more important that the literate of us unite to end illiteracy and stop injustice performed in the name of technology. This, honestly, is just making fun of each other, for apparently no sound reason. And I'm talking about the comments, not the meme. I might, or not, get some sour disagreements, or straight-up very bitter replies for arguing even this, ...and again, I ask: Do we reeaaally have to do this?
Technology too has a supposed duty of bringing people together...!
"Forge-JOE", not "Forge-GO", or "Forg-Joe" or "Forg-Go"...I have always been confused by that name! Hahahahah!
