Zulip needs a couple UI/UX designer to work on it and get a facelift into the "cutesy and smiley interfaces" era. It's great, and it's the only one that's actually free to self host with all features.

For me if I need to start a random cli vm it's debian-minimal stable. Needs very little maintenance besides apt-get upgrade for a non-gui VM, not much special handling compared to other distros, just enough automatism to not need hand
