A relatively quick search finds a few clients in the Debian repository: nheko, quaternion, matrix-mirage, weechat-matrix, spectral. There's also pantalaimon, described as an 'E2EE-aware proxy daemon for matrix clients', and libqmatrixclient*, a 'Qt5 library to write cross-platform clients for Matrix' (which is apparently used by quaternion). Of those, matrix-mirage specifically notes end-to-end encryption support, and weechat-matrix marks it as experimental; the others don't seem to mention it one way or the other, at least not in the package description. nheko, quaternion, and pantalaimon are all in both stable and testing; the others are currently in testing but not stable. I haven't previously looked closely at Matrix, but I'm going to have to check some of these out and see what I think. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
