Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

We are preparing a project in our room on the New open source messenger 'SimpleX' to introduce and promote the upcoming DebConf 2023 in India, Kochi. (discuss.tchncs.de)

With contributions in that room and various 'Jitsi Meet' events from Kochi.

These annual 'DebConfs' and several 'MiniDebConfs' in a year, are a unique selling point of Debian and springs from the spirit, philosophy of GNU/Linux. Opening these events around the world to Debian users and getting them involved is the idea behind them.

Debian also lives from the discussion of controversial topics. For this, I think, Jitsi Meet lends itself.

I was wondering why someone already made a knockoff "x" till I got till then end of the title....

If you want people to take you serious, come up with your own name, not a knockoff of the most popular dumpster fire. It's like when mobile games try to sound like AAA console games.

The only people downloading "simplex" from an app store will be confused boomers, which might be what you're going for.
