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?
HexChat is a good one for GUI.
And speaking of Pidgin, has anyone found an alternative to connecting to google chat since they broke the ability to get oauth keys for the purple-googlechat plugin? The only thing I found so far was the actual google chat client which requires having Chrome installed.
