Sable (Recommended)

Sable is a Matrix Client based on a different Matrix Client named Cinny. Sable was formed during an ideological split, with the Sable developers emphasizing quick development of useful features, and the Cinny developers going all in on doing nothing for the sake of perfection. Sable can be rough around the edges, but it currently has the most wide feature set of any Matrix Client, and an interface which is familiar to Discord users. Because of this I recommend Sable, though it can be a little strange to setup.

Installing

This guide assumes you are using Linux Mint. If you are using windows, no guide will be provided

Electron (Legacy Release)

The electron versions of sable are considered to be legacy software, and no longer get updates. This means their install process may also be more annoying.

  1. Copy the follow command into your terminal, and press enter. This will download a copy of Sable, and put it
    curl -s -L https://drive.goblins.gay/public.php/dav/files/gYBcH9drZwNaHy3 | tar -xvz -C ~/.local/share/applications; mkdir ~/.icons; ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/sable-electron/sable.svg ~/.icons; ln -s ~/.local/share/applications/sable-electron/sable.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/sable.desktop
  2. That command will get a copy of the Sable Electron program, and install it into your ~/.local/applications/sable-electron folder. If you have issues running it from your start menu, you should be able to run it using the sable.AppImage file in that directory (moving it wont break anything).
