So, I've just started to get into the grits of IRC and use it for more
than just Twitch Chat.

However, with so many options out there, and not a lot of easily (for
me at least) found information about customizing your clients of
choice I was wondering if there were some guides out there for
different ways of setting up IRC clients.

These don't have to be client specific, I think I can apply knowledge
to more than one application so anything that might be available would
be great.

Thanks.

What are you interested in? Which os do you use? For start point I
would recommend you xchat/hexchat, after that I tried using IRC
bouncer (znc). I have stared like that and now I am using
irssi/weechat session on my server.
I'm sleepy right now so my post may be a huge mess. Feel free to ask
anything here, I will respond later for sure ;)

I'm interested in a lot. Mainly Computer Science related stuff:

* Programming
* Playing with different OS's
* Pentesting

and games as well. I'm also trying to get into Linux.

Try hanging out on freenode. I started on freenode, now I am on 5
networks and I have like 50 windows in my client. I am interested in
playing with oses, syetem administration + pieces of networking and
some programming, eventually anime and computer games so I am enrolled
on channels related to it.
Hint: small channels are good because you can talk more freely and
meet some friends via IRC.

I think that's the biggest thing, finding channels, but I believe I've
found a few I like.

Yeah, It can take some time.
