Re: "which of these linux clients you prefer? (i also added web..."
i use pidgin and dino. for me the main problem of pidgin is absence of omemo encryption. btw i am ok with otr, but majority of people uses omemo. thats why it is a problem, they often dont even know how to disable it, so i use dino just for omemo.
other features like http upload, well, i think should be thought of better. http_upload makes all the clients' ips available. i think xmpp server on receiving side had to be obliged to cache the image and provide the cached version to its clients. but that wont work if the message is e2e encrypted. so anyway for just file exchange i like the old way which pidgin support better.

I like Conversations and Cheogram in Android. XMPP is my favorite way to communicate. Wish more people would adopt it.

right now again, i am using only dino and pidgin. i wish pidgin had omemo, my friends write me with omemo enabled. i tried lurch: pidgin omemo plugin, but i thitk it not only not worked, but also corrupted m my pep storage on the server, and i had to reset my keys.
on maemo-leste which is over devuan chimaera i have older dino: it is buggy and what i write with omemo on other clients it ismnot able to decrypt and other clients are not able to decrypt what was sent by it.
similar problem i have with shmoose: sailfish xmpp client. even worse: omemo mostly doesnt work. the dev wrote that de doesnt understand why, but sending several unencrypted messages prior to enabling omemo sometimes helps.
which of these linux clients you prefer? (i also added web software that can be used under linux, though probably it was better to create separate poll for that).
