In the article, you suggest Element for eg messaging. But in Librem guide, you suggest Riot desktop sw for Librem Chat. But Riot link to Element. I'm confused, can you explain how they relate to each other?

@Henrik Hemrin @Purism Meant to say Element instead of Riot. It's the same thing. Riot has been renamed to Element.

Thanks, I will focus on Element then. And @purism should consider to update their support info for Librem.

What do you think about adding a photography section? If so, my personal view for one FOSS, is digiKam. My personal FOSS shortlist is #, #, # and #. There are many more good, and I use more than my shortlist myself.
