Which IRC client is your favorite on Linux? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- damiankw · 2019-09-02 03:24 irssi. Its straightforward, easy to use. I dont use it much these days though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sherlock_0x7C4 · 2019-09-02 03:35 Is it easier to use as compared to an UI client? Also, does it have any popular nick-script that shows the list of users in the sidebar? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-09-02 07:06 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- khobler · 2019-09-02 07:15 IRSSI !! I Love Irssi :) I move and switch faster through the channels and server in opposite to have a gui and a mouse. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rubinlinux · 2019-09-02 07:30 Hexchat has been my goto client for a decade now. Its GUI, scriptable, pretty customizable and of course open source. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sherlock_0x7C4 · 2019-09-02 07:45 How do you display the list of users? I don't think irssi has that feature out of the box. To my knowledge, you need third-party plugins to achieve that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- khobler · 2019-09-02 08:23 /names, or the whole time ? as hexchat on the side ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sherlock_0x7C4 · 2019-09-02 08:57 As hexchat, on either side all the time ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jaycolson · 2019-09-02 09:09 quassel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- djernie · 2019-09-02 10:11 irssi inside a screen session ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stelgard · 2019-09-02 11:22 Weechat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- khobler · 2019-09-02 11:25 good question, I do not know because I have never needed. what's the reason to see and know all the time who's online ? if i wanna know who's online i give a "/names" ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- petacanblowme · 2019-09-02 13:28 None. I went back to Windows because they all stink. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- clem16 · 2019-09-02 17:14 I also vote for IRSSI just “because” it’s what I use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WorldGenesis · 2019-09-02 17:58 I'm going to have to go with weechat, there's alot of customization to it :P ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sherlock_0x7C4 · 2019-09-02 18:00 What sort of customization? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2019-09-02 19:42 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- webvictim · 2019-09-02 21:16 Use Weechat. It’s like irssi but better and shows a nicklist by default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- webvictim · 2019-09-02 21:16 Weechat. It’s like irssi but with way more features built in by default. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nei-- · 2019-09-03 13:32 you can use the tmux-nicklist-portable script, see scripts.irssi.org website ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RScholar · 2019-09-05 14:23 [KVIrc](https://www.kvirc.net/) for me; can't spoil all the KDE goodness in Kubuntu by using an IRC client that isn't built using Qt5. Seriously though, it's the only Linux IRC GUI client worth a damn in my opinion. If I'm deep in the terminal I'll fire up a tab with Weechat, though. On the flip side, if I intend to fritter away a weekend shooting the breeze on a couple dozen channels across 6+ networks, then I treat myself to using [AdiIRC](https://adiirc.com/) [via WINE](https://dev.adiirc.com/projects/adiirc/wiki/Wine). :-D ...Fvck me, I just spoke about IRC with the same self-satisfaction and bizarre level of passion that I used to have about weed back in my college pothead days. If they found a way to adequately convey to us just how much getting old sucks when we were young, the only reason the species would still persist is that we'd never believe them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- realunbeatablegamer · 2019-09-06 00:36 I've seen other people talking about irsii, but I wanted something straightforward to open, so I got IRCii (sorry if I'm being dumb and they are the same thing, I haven't been into IRC that long). IRCii is pretty simple and easy to use, but has plenty of opportunities for advanced scripting. Also, points for being a TUI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Findlaech · 2019-09-14 20:57 irssi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kowalczyk_gentoo · 2019-09-27 08:51 ircII or epic4/epic5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- WigiBit · 2019-10-07 13:13 Use nicklist. Google: "irssi nicklist screen" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IBNash · 2019-11-13 06:22 For a few channels/Networks, I like Irssi, but once you're in the realm of 8 networks and 25+ channels, I need a tree layout. My choice on both Windows and Linux is Hexchat. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- earthrock3r · 2020-01-21 12:36 weechat is my favorite. Konversation comes in second place.
