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

it really is and i been liking green Debian as well.

I've been thinking of switching to Green Debian... It doesn't sound like there's all that much difference, anything you found missing or was it pretty much same enough?

Same as Debian but with pre-installed firmware, and other stuff. also the desktop GUI gets updates and it has backports enabled by default.

Green Debian didn't like displaying things on my laptop's Nvidea chip. On my desktop with an AMD card, Green Debian runs flawlessly. No terminal transparency, though, but that's not really a problem for me.
