About Matrix Matrix is an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications.

Matrix Manifesto We believe:

People should have full control over their own communication. People should not be locked into centralised communication silos, but instead be free to pick who they choose to host their communication without limiting who they can reach. The ability to converse securely and privately is a basic human right. Communication should be available to everyone as a free and open, unencumbered, standard and global network.

The only thing holding me back from using it is that it doesn't remove the background noise of my mic well. (I also have to convince my less privacy minded friends and they really don't like the extra background noises)

is it possible to do something like open the sound of a virtual stream from OBS and use OBS's audio filters before the discord-clone gets your audio? not sure if that makes sense, but that would be the steps I would try in your shoes.

I tried that with noisetorch, but it quite amazingly destroyed my linux haha. I still don't quite understand how. That isn't the problem, the problem is that there are too many hoops to jump for my friends to get started without a whole bunch of background noise.

But thanks! I'll still look into that to investigate if there is something really easy

If you have an Nvidia card, try RTX Voice (works with GTX models too)

It doesn't seem to support my RTX 1070 :( and it would also not work for my friends

But thanks for the reccomendation

Does it work on Linux tho?

Easy effects has a option to help with that, I use it and it works amazing you can't hear my keyboard when it's on
