I am searching for a selfhosted and secure (end to end encryption) chat platform for my family (5-20 users), possibly one i can host on a raspi.

Is matrix a good choice, or should i try something else?

      Visual discomfort because it looks like an slightly older app? What kind of issue is that???

      And Monal has improved a lot in recent months, the current version is mostly fine.

        You’ve met an iOS user.

        …exactly the kind that discourages 60-something, non-technical family members.

          It discourages 60-something nontechnical family members that the app looks like WhatsApp? Are you being serious?

      I originally suggested Monal to my friend (who is quite into iOS and really appreciates a well designed application) and she found the same, but then she tried Siskin, and was happy enough to use it to this day.
