This client has proven to be worse than useless on my computer, also I don't like the touchscreen UI in general outside of mobile phones , it's just awful.
I once used this client on Alpine Linux without much issues until I updated it to its latest stable and just didn't work anymore , because of some weird dependency cycle related to Python itself.
For some weird reason after trying to log in it segfaults on Alpine. Yet to know why.
This is the client I use now for IRC and XMPP. It perfectly fits my needs and it didn't fall by the meme of the modern UI , thankfully. Also it's very extensible by libpurple plugins , to supports many protocols , even Discord unironically. The client is just awesome
I have not much to say about this terminal oriented client , it just works like a breeze for me when I'm not using the graphical environment.
Never got an opportunity to use any of them , the build system always crashed when tried to compile them from source on Alpine , yet to know why it happens.
Before I found Pidgin I was using this client written in Java, but as anything written in it, it's just slow. It pretty much got lagged because of the auto-joining of rooms. Also lacks of any e2ee method (even OTR)
As an XMPP client looks good on first glance , as it doesn't depend on any graphical toolkit other than Tk , but for some odd reason I just can't login with my Jabber ID....
