Personally I used to use Pidgin, but since I moved my XMPP to Gajim because of OMEMO I have no need to stay tied to it necessarily. So I’m looking to expand my horizons, and I figured here’s as good a place as any to start a discussion about Linux IRC clients.
What do y’all use? Terminal, GUI, both?
irssi or hexchat (earlier xchat) since forever. I’m one of the weird people that even paid for xchat on Windows ages ago.
I’ve never liked the clients that were just an extension in something else, like Pidgin.
