tl;dr :
- Hexchat IRC client app development stopped
- Linux Mint team was building IRC client to replace Hexchat
- The team tried Matrix and liked it
- Linux Mint’s communication channels are moving from IRC to Matrix
- The desktop app will be named Matrix to avoid confusion

Do we know when Mint 22 is coming yet other than just “summer '24”?
Would you rather they announce “when it’s ready” instead?
It wasn’t a criticism - I was just curious if anyone had any more info.
Nobody got solid info (probably not the devs themselves), but some facts:
- they’re based on Ubuntu LTS
- they put heavy modifications on top of it
- from their track record, the major releases have been on June & July
Thanks!
