    I use Hexchat. It’s a fine GUI a client, simple and reliable. I use a ZNC bouncer so no need to keep a CLI client running 24/7.

      Just to let you know, Hexchat is no longer maintained, unless someone has forked it. Might be worth looking into alternatives.

        Has IRC been getting many new features recently? It kind of feels like the sort of thing where software can become “finished”.

          I mean yeah, Hexchat does work pretty well and is kind of finished. But it’s possible there are existing security vulnerabilities or new ones to be discovered in the future.

    Weechat. Terminal based, flexible scripting system using a handful of languages, still actively developed, and I can make it work the way I want it to work.

        If you’re going to not use software because you don’t like a program with a similar name, I really don’t know what to tell you… 🤷‍♂️

          Would you run a distro called Windoze?

            I don’t care what it’s called as long as it’s a decent distro and does what I need it to do.

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.
