@cos @scatty_hannah @miah my biggest issue with synapse was the usual Python stuff where you cannot just walk into upgrading Python to a new major version without utterly breaking your venvs, plus the whole deal where with one user in 2 conference rooms and 2 private conversations idle synapse managed to constantly hog 4-8% of a core. (Idle dendrite uses 0.2-0.4%.)
@mia @scatty_hannah @miah if you want to run Synapse easily, just run the debian package or a Docker container. No need to worry about such Python stuff.
