IRC client for chromebook that will allow book downloads
reddit / irc

I have a chromebook with linux, opera and chrome installed.  But so
far I can't find an IRC client that will allow DCC so that I can
download books from the ebook channel.  Opera no longer supports a
native IRC client.

Anyone have suggestions that have worked on a chromebook? And if you
do, detailed directions would be much appreciated.

The main problem is the chrome and linux clients I have tried do not
support DCC, they are just for chats.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Hexchat should work, BUT, I get an error message in the terminal when
download it from flatpak.

I have an Asus C300,  the documentation on reddit says crostini will
never be available for it. But, I have linux and the terminal on the
machine, so what's going on.  Do I need crostini for anything besides
dinner?

I want to install Hexchat from flatpak to the chomeOS on my machine,
but here's the message I got when trying to install Flatpak,

rj@penguin:\~$     sudo apt install flatpak

**Anyone have a better way to install Hexchat on an asus c300
chromebook?**

Getting a bit desperate here.  Considering getting a windows machine
for easier install

If you have Linux on it IRSSI is a good choice.
It is all on the command line.
