for debian 13.1 xfce
I liked hexchat due to its ample customization possibilities.
What do you use that’s maintained and why?
Hexchat dead? I just checked on Sid and it’s available. Heck, I forgot I had it installed.
Awww. Hexchat is dead?? NO! I don’t use IRC anymore, but when i did, one of the first things i’d install on a new install was Hexchat.
Most IRC users these days selfhost https://thelounge.chat/
Most? Is that based on the results of a survey or something?
It is based on what I’ve seen lately when I look at /whois. It is not meant to be ground truth, I use it myself and my friends have recommended it to me
I still use hexchat, it works fine.
If Hexchat is in Trixie repository (which seem to be the case) it will be maintained across its lifecycle which will be a couple of years. If you’re fine with receiving security patches only, then there is no need to swap the client. As for myself I’ll stick to Hexchat as well for the time being since it just works.
Irssi - used it first in college and never looked for anything else
What happened to hexchat? I use xchat but maybe that’s dead too.
