With the possible implosition of Reddit...
I don't understand why it has to be one or the other. Why can't both be used?
I just found the fingers crossed emoji. cool.EbonJaeger Oh, in my opinion, it is not an efficient use of time for the dev team, being scattered across platforms. Secondly, if all users are considered and their needs, forum makes the most sense. The posts on it are permanent and easy to find, there is a search box to hunt for solutions in the past, and I think most users prefer it that way. Just thinking of support here. How can helping one person on matrix benefit all users? They won't even know about it, and it will be scrolled up in no time at all. Just my 2.5 cents.

I'm not sure that the users who are on Matrix would agree. 
The trend that I see on Matrix (and really on the forums, too, for the most part) is that each issue is pretty specific to that particular person's setup, be it configuration, software, or hardware. Anything that is determined to be a non-user-specific issue is referred to the dev tracker for tracking.
At the end of the day, some people will prefer a platform like Matrix, and some will prefer a platform like the forum here.
EbonJaeger I hope you are right about it. I guess time will tell. Every person has their own preference and opinions.

brent Thats prob not a bad Idea for short term and it wouldnt be taxing on dev once
a month update just to see the state of things.
On the support side I get both sides of story but like bruce said there is no good way to handle them.
(Prob the most important is that no matter what you choose a person feels they are getting the support they need)
Think I am going leave it their for myself for now.
Has been an interesting and informative thread.

EbonJaeger Many issues also tend to be generic Linux issues rather than Solus-specific issues. I think forums are better from that standpoint as they're openly searchable and don't need additional hurdles.
yeah, about today's sync...any word? 
. Asking for a friend. I'll show myself out...

WetGeek OK you got it organically the right way! By the time you told me there was an update, I did not have one nor recieved an alert for about 20 minutes after you said you got one. ISPs I'm sure.
Because you had an update and I did not I thought you were kicking around Element and found the info
.
Phew! thanks for the macro and the info. edit: updated and rebooted already.
Just info for those that might have missed it check (flarum update log)
Harvey For the record, EbonJager brought it up at the meeting
Then they BOTH deserve a lot of credit for their parts in making it happen. And thank you for letting us all know about it. I've learned over the years that there are a lot of good distros, but it's stuff like this that makes Solus so great. 
I 2nd that and all the hard work everybody puts in on Solus
Thank You!
