From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The hate on telegram is easy to explain. The server is closed source and you need to give them your phone number. Yes it's better than whatsapp. But it's worse than matrix or xmpp.
Now, you don't have to give them your phone number tho. I mean, you have to pay for that privilege, but I am ok with that.
The server is partially open source no? How do you rate anonymity on Matrix? I don't like the fact that I am associated with an ID one can remember and trace back. I use element.io
