After trying all available Matrix clients, I find Fractal from GNOME project the one that feels the most solid (most of them were IMHO not that great, so was easy choice):

https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/fractal

Element is reasonable but is only single account (I'd need two) and feels just generally heavy and sluggish thanks to Electron user experience that we all love.... .... ....to hate

So... if you use and love GNOME and have to use Matrix, Fractal is the only GUI version that does not suck in my opinion, at least from ones listed in https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/.

Some other time I give iamb a shot (runs inside terminal): https://iamb.chat/

I needed this for my work chat but I also revived my personal account for contact : @jjs:kapsi.fi.

@jarkko There's also Chatty, which is miles faster than Fractal (very noticeable on mobile), but lacks some features.

@vixalientoots I don't think there is a mobile version of Fractal. I just run it on Fedora. It's AFAIK exclusively available for GNOME only...

I doubt that native application based on just plain Gtk widgets and nothing speicla could be *slower* than Swing UI application running inside Oracle JRE... o_O

@jarkko I have also ended up using Fractal for like half a year now. It has small set if features but is good enough. Sometimes it gets stuck, and I need to restart it. It just doesn't deliver the messages until restart. But luckily rarely.

Oh, recently it stioped showing media. Some codec missing
