Remember the old modded and themed versions of mIRC?

I assume these are Linux chat programs. How do they work? Can you only
chat w someone using the same program? I could never get anyone else
in my family bro use Linux

What makes you think Linux when the screenshot is plainly of Windows
Explorer?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
vanjr · 2022-07-01 16:41

The names of the programs. I do not think I agree with the adjective
"plainly". The screen shot looks pretty generic to me.

But I will let myself out...

What, no Weechat?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know how to install it on Windows. It's overly complicated. It
requires something called **Cygwin**, and I have no idea what that is
or how to make it work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
IBNash · 2022-07-03 13:15

I'd use Hexchat on Windows and call it a day if Cygwin seems
challenging.

I used Hexchat (on Windows) for many many years before migrating to
Linux full time and realizing Pango (on Linux) is terrible at
rendering fonts compared to modern terminals like Kitty or Alacritty.

Just run the installer, and click though the prompts. When you get to
the 'Select Packages' part, in the 'Search' box, type "weechat" and
install it.

Hexchat has extremely limited modularity and scripting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
DestroyerOfIphone · 2022-08-08 16:08

But it was the first one to have spell check on Linux and Windows.
Iirc.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
ChocoCake909008 · 2022-08-08 17:35

I think that's correct. Mirc still doesn't have it, though adiirc
(basically free mirc) does.
