There's the Linux sub system for Windows that you should be able to I
stall weechat into

Sorry, I have zero experience with Linux. What sub system are you
referring to?

Edit: Did a big dumb. Looked it up and WSL popped up. I guess I'll
have to either learn how to set it up or just choose a different IRC
client.

You can run it via Cygwin - https://www.cygwin.com/ or via Windows
Subsystem for Linux.

Thanks for replying I think I'm just going to choose a different irc
client since I really don't want to go through all the extra steps...

If you are looking for a desktop IRC client Hexchat is a popular
cross-platform option.

Just use the OG windows irc client mirc

Use mIRC or Hexchat. I also appluad your interest in checking out the
cool thing you found, but don't get too excited, IRC is awesome but it
is, unfortunately, a shell of what it once was. If you give it time,
you'll find some cool communities, but it will probably seem rather
bad at first.

IRC is as big as ever. Just because the legacy networks aren't big
doesn't mean it has constant use in other places.
