Convos - self hosted web based client written in Perl of all things, because it's small, simple, does exactly what I want and no more, and avoids my having to faff with client + bouncer which was getting old 10 years ago and feels positively withering now.
WeeChat! I've been using WeeChat for like 13 years now and I love it. I used to use irssi back in the days and mIRC before irssi existed.. Some bitchX experiments may have happened at some point during the shell boom too.
This remote interface is the biggest selling point to me even today, it's amazing: WeeChat-Android.
I run Circe in Emacs because it's lightweight and integrates with the modeline for not overly distracting notifications.
Hexchat and pidgin. What to do now when they are not supported on wayland?
Twitch dot tv
Quassel nowadays, because I'm on my phone more often than my laptop. Back when I say at a keyboard more, it was irssi, no contest
For Windows I like 0irc. It's extremely lightweight and portable. For a browser alternative, KiwilIRC works in a pinch.
It’s old, but removedx.
can't find any client by that name
imagine a pejorative term for women with the letter "x" appended to it
the client hasn't been updated in a long time, perhaps someone needs to fork it.
Element, not only is Matrix the future but it handles bridging to irc well
Slack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
