My laptop is getting old and i can’t have Element eat up half of my RAM. There are many more clients out there but which one is good? aka "the best? ;-)

My requirements: lightweight, encryption 100% supported, active development/community. runs neatly 24/7 in the background.

Should also support the latest features, let me customize when to get notifications: priorities / muted chatrooms. And ideally also look clean and run on the Pinephone. But that’s optional.

I don’t care which desktop environment or cli.

What do you use?

    I think the way to handle this is to long-press on that notification and turn it off. This way the notification is there in theory so your app doesn’t get killed in the background and you don’t get a notification shown either. I did that with all the persistent notifications from several apps (including Element) and my phone looks clean. But don’t disable all the notification categories. Just the persistent background one so that you’ll still get notified of messages and so on.
