There's also Fractal[0] which uses GTK+ instead of Qt, and is maintained by the Gnome foundation and planned to be used by the Librem 5 AFAIK. [0]: https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/fractal https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/fractal

  Unfortunately, can't find it in the Fedora's repo

    I know it isn't ideal, but Fractal is available through Flatpak and Snap

Alternatively Mirage[0] - Qt + Python. There is really a lot to choose from with Matrix. The beauty of open protocol. [0]: https://github.com/mirukana/mirage https://github.com/mirukana/mirage

  Seems like on Fedora the only mirage available is Mirage the image viewer http://mirageiv.sourceforge.net/ http://mirageiv.sourceforge.net/

    You can install the other Mirage on Fedora by following the instruction in the Github link...

But unfortunately these alternatives don't have the same encryption support, do they? (Some seem not to have any.)

  https://blog.riot.im/e2e-encryption-by-default-cross-signing-is-here/#supporting-non-e2ee-clients https://blog.riot.im/e2e-encryption-by-default-cross-signing... has a list of E2E-capable clients. For instance, Mirage, mentioned as an alternative here, has full E2EE support (but no cross-signing yet, given it's brand new).
